Annoyed
many things that are ridiculous
1. when someone can't spell ridiculous. okay, i get that ppl make mistakes--I make my share all the freaking time, but when someone persists on spelling it 'rediculous' it aggravates the piss out of me *twitching*
2. fics that have dr. cox saying "I love you" with a soft smile. *grinds teeth* OKAY! Just because I have (probably unwisely) decided that my favorite 'ship would be just about the cutest thing ever, doesn't mean I want them to be all OOC with it. The above thing is probably one of the squickiest things I could possibly read because it would never ever ever ever ever ever happen!!!! I know that fluff exists that doesn't gross me out--I've read it, people!-------->this one actually
3. taking our wonderful doctors and puting them in a high-school setting. *deadpan* I don't think i have to explain why that's ridiculous.
4. fics that make JD cry all the effing time. Okay, so he's a little girl, but would ya give us girls a little credit here? I like JDA as much as the next person, but in all the seasons of scrubs how many times has JD actually cried? even when things are rotten? That's what I thought, so buck up and give him a backbone. Cuz he has one, I swear it. Case in point, last night when he just freaking went off on Carla, Turk, Elliot, and Dr. Cox at the same time. Oh yeah, it was the TCW episode.
5. advertising your inexperience. this doesn't annoy me, but it does kind of bewilder me. why would you tell people that this is 'your first fic'? Why? I usually won't touch those stories with a ten-foot pole unless I'm desperate. Granted, once in a while I'm pleasantly surprised, but as a rule I don't pay much attention to them. So, here's my advice: even if you're not confident, act like you are. This is the internet and people don't have to politely skim over whatever rubbish you put down and tell you how 'interesting' it is, with a grimace that tries it's bestest to be a smile. if you're more confident people will take you more seriously and be more likely to make helpful criticisms, rather than flaming the pants right off you. flamers can spot fear from a gigabyte away. don't give them the satisfaction of knowing you're nervous.
6. people who come in and flame a story just because it's slash. OMFG this makes me mad. Don't these people have things to do other than being complete jerkoffs? (what do people who don't read slash all day do, anyway?) It just seems ridiculous to me, when I can barely bear to take time out to read my e-mail, I'm so caught up in whatever I'm reading, and these idiots run around all day just flaming. For the helluvit. Make's me feel better about my lack of a real life, actually. At least I'm doing something fun. Friggin assnat sonofabitchin' homophobes. *really annoyed*
7. when the summary for a scrubs story contains the word "yaoi" or any other japanese word. Come on people! My fault, I guess, for daring to go over to FF.net and browse. I feel a bit sick now.
8. Stories where Cox listens to "the fray", "john mayr" or any other current artist that I'm quite certain he wouldn't listen to. This goes along with the OOC thing, but I thought it deserved its own number. *irritated*
9. Livejournal. Is. Ridiculous. End of freakin story. I'm gonna go find a squating place at IS and GJ, y'know, just in case. I should tell you though, that I ain't movin' unless ALL OF FANDOM GOES TOO. Cuz, let's face it, the slash fandom capital is here, and I go where it goes. As much as I'm frowning on LJ right now, it looks like fandom is staying put for the moment. So, so am I. It's still ridiculous though, and mostly on my part. There's a rebellious part inside my head that's looking at me in complete disgust. I can't help it!
10. Songfics that have more song verses than story words. Why don't you just go ahead a write a 50 word drabble and tack the song on at the end? It'd make my life easier. And maybe give my back button a rest.
