Actually I already write in Word and keep it up2date saved on a disc too (just in case  ) and I actually bought a little notebook, and BOY it's the best bloody thing ever. I've already filled up 15 pages with ideas for the story but now have to incorporate it into it without messing with the plot.

Thanks again girls heaps appreciated.

And when Nick would act waaay younger than his age in a lot of fics as well. Like he'd be 14 but Kevin would be carrying him to bed and patting his back. It's okay if he's sick I suppose but not just as a nightly ritual lmao

See I would only do that in a slash fanfic, or if Nick is like 'special' in a story.

Because i'm in one of those moods lol

What are some of your biggest pet peeves when it comes to writing fanfics, reading fanfics or anything else in general?

 

A big peeve of mine in fanfiction would probably have to be all the profanity.  Especially the "f" word.  I just can't stand reading works with that word in it.

Now, non-fanfic pet peeves would have to be finding shopping carts scattered throughout the parking lot when the place to put them is right there!  Now, granted, there are most likely some people who are in too big a hurry to make the hundred-foot trip to return the cart, but there came a day when my family and i saw three empty carts in a parking space.  Ee-gads, man!

LMAO I hate the shopping cart thing too!  It's always my luck... I think I've found a good spot, and there's a freaking cart in my way!  Grrr!

As far as profanity in stories, I think sometimes it's needed to really give you a feel for a character... i.e. Cindy in Kelly's story Not Your Average Cinderella Story.  Girl cussed like a sailor, but that was HER, and it immediately separated her from the typical female lead of a Bsb fanfic.  I don't think she would have been as believable if she hadn't had the potty mouth LOL.  That's just my feeling on it, but I agree that profanity gets old after awhile.

lol thanks Julie. I actually always got tired of the language in NYACS especially since I never use it. But I modeled Cindy after a friend of mine and that's just how she was. But I always found myself wanting to dial back the language in that one. And non of my other stories are littered with bad language at all. the occasional curse here or there, but thats it.

My new pet peeve is sales at Victoria's Secret.

[honey]

how is that a bad thing?

[starbeamz]

My pet peeve, non-fanfic wise, is those people who have to have the last word and who have to prove to you that they're doing something so much more amazing than you could ever do in your entire life. Like I care...?

[nicksgal]

Because the other customers push you and take bras out of your hands.

[honey]

LMAO I am now picturing some crazy woman stealing a bra out of your hands.

[nicksgal]

It happened twice, actually. lol

[RokofAges75]

LMAO!

[nicksgal]

Maybe I am just a case to be pitied? lol

[starbeamz]

that's really sad, Dee. *pats you on the head and gives you a cookie*

[nicksgal]

What kind of cookie?
