Nekosmuse is my new god.

amethyst_lupin pointed me in the direction of a great meta by nekosmuse The Ten Commandments of Fanfiction.

Thou shalt never use epithets. Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyou. If I never see Draco referred to 'the blond' or Ron called 'the redhead' again, it will be too soon.

Thou shalt use warnings. Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyou. I cracked open a fic the other day and halfway through it - Surprise! - was the rape scene. Ack. I still have that unpleasant image in my mind, and I'm glaring at author and never want to read them again.

I shalt not spoil the rest. Enjoy!

Completely OT and half-embarrassing:

I was looking at your user info and the bit about the filtered posts. Now, you haven't posted many locked posts [lately?] and I have a memory like a sieve: am I on the friends filter? Can I ask to get on it? I definitely want to read about your cat's opinion of baths :o)

I think you are, but I'll check.

I stopped using the filter for the most part because my sense of paranoia was fleeting and temporary. :D Also, when the main list is 600 people and the filter is 400 people, what difference does it make? *snort*

I'm almost sure you're on it though.
