10:18 PM - CANNONxCANNON FIC PEEVES
Yes. I have peeves with tons of CannonXCannon
fics.
1.
Cliches:
Same parings, same basic plots, DIFFERENT writers. I
understand if you liked the idea after seeing it, but making a
'cloned fic' really makes me want to change
fandoms.
2.
The same pairings: There's way too many
Sess/Kags than Inu/Kags (considering that Inu/Kag is
actually
cannon while Sess/Kag is a whimsical fangirl fantasy
writers come
up with to insert themselves disguised as a cannon
character.
Believe me, making Kagome into a Mary Sue, doesn't
mean readers
don't notice its actually 'you' you're writing
about.
3.
One Female Heroine in 90% of all fics in a
fandom: It gets really boring, repetitive,
unrealistic. There's not that many plot ideas for said
female
mostly she's the only love interest for ALL males.
Perfect
examples are 'Fujioka Haruhi' or 'Higurashi Kagome'.
In Bleach,
'Kuchiki Rukia' is slowly starting to get the worn
down overly
used heroine routine by being paired up with not only
ALL
males, but in some occasions even females. These
cannon-sues
are also infesting crossovers. (Kagome is the one
being mostly
used in the crossover genre)
4.
More yaoi then het in a
fandom: I LOVE YAOI! But when
you
see that 9 out of every 10 fics is yaoi, you
begin to
HATE it. Go to AFF.net to see how much yaoi there is
in
comparison to het or yuri in the following
fandoms: Final Fantasy, Bleach, Inuyasha.
5.
Author's Comparing themselves to a
cannon-heroine: Mary-Sue much?
6.
Everyone falling in love at first
sight.
7.
Reverse Harem fics: No matter how you
color a female-cannon, you're succesfully making
her a
self-insert by making her fuck everybody that has a
hot body,
especially when you make it all into her POV and no
one refuses
her or finds her behavior odd.
8. Mary-Suing a cannon-female: People have
to
avoid describing how BEAUTIFUL a cannon female is in
their
stories and how everybody both male and female
instantly fall
in love with them for their 'gorgeousness'. It's
redundant,
stupid and fucks up the mangaka's cannon creation so
much that
the fanfic author should be banned from writing ever
again.
These overzealous writers have made me HATE certain
cannon-females. Every time I read in a fic
with the
following 'SHE'S SO CUTE!' or see guys making
bets about
who wins the hot 'new girl' in school, I feel like
FLAMING
it.
9.
SciFi, most OCC AUs (mostly when in stupid oneshots),
Vampire Fics for fandoms that don't even have
vampires,
Werewolf fics, incubus/succubus fics, 'human fics' (
alot of
Inuyasha fics have done that by making all yokai human
in AU,
so has Bleach), magical people in universes that
are not
so magical (like a flying witch in a OHSHC
fanfic) ect.,
10. Fluffying hot 'cold characters': I'm
SCARED of reading Sesshy fics or Byakuya fics (even
Ulquiorra
fics for that matter) because of them being OCCd and
fluffied
out to inrecognition.
11.
Superficial character depictions: Make them
feel alive, not like a 'dummy' that does things
without
feelings, thoughts or likes and dislikes. I know some
people
don't analize characters the way I do, but geez! Most
characters aren't even FELT.
12.
Grammer, grammer, grammer! I suck at it too,
but make an effort in writing something
legible.
I'll write more when I see
more bullshit or get bored. And yes, this was a
RANT.
