There's this one girl on the other site who promos herself so much that when someone started a rec thread she actually put in her request "Yes [self-promo girl] I have read all your stuff do not promote it!" LMAO. I felt vindicated.

Funny!! That annoys me too.

I agree with those who said Filiklepto. She really needs to update and finish On the Rails. It's like the only AU I am really sucked into.

I agree about Filiklepto! I really want her to finish On Nightingale Hill.
Purpura Lipstick:
I am Rose's pet peeve with writing. :) LOL
I have characters that need more depth. I self promote my stories, I have bragged and it's been nothing special ;p
I have self-inserted and used names similar to my own. There are surprisingly a lot of red heads in my stories. I am sure I have plot points that leave you hanging....
and of course, I have mare's favorite, banners. :)
I never really read a lot of fanfic on AC before the last couple of years so I'm not missing any authors.

LOL now I feel bad :P.
Oddly enough, I actually wasn't thinking of you in my pet peeves. I didn't know you did self-inserts, the only one I know about was in 00Carter LOL. You do self-promote a lot though, and I'll be the first to say it's a turn off. I feel like a little goes a long way in that aspect.

Exactly. A tweet to say I update (and I don't even do that as much now that I have my cousin following me on twitter. Last thing I need is him finding me here!) and a post in the update thread is usually as far as I go.
