Dear Fanfic Writer,
Humorous ≠ humerus. I can see why that's a tad confusing, so if you don't trust me find a dictionary.
I'll take the opportunity to mention again that repel ≠ rappel.
Also, fair ≠ fare.
Sincerely,
SBG
Dear Fanfic Writer,
I actually like your work. It contains a nice blend of humor and action, and sometimes H/C. The stories, good. The 'weird' use of apostrophes you got 'going on' perplexes me, though. I cannot 'figure out' why you insist on using them. To me, single quotes to 'accent' something kind of indicates condescension, you know, the way people do 'air quotes' when they're being snotty. I find it 'baffling', but am reluctant to address it with you 'directly' for fear of offending.
Also, you could lay off the equally random and often misplaced italics and that would be so nice.
'Sincerely' puzzled,
SBG
Dear Slash (And Some Het) Writer,
For the love of all that is sanitary, do not have your characters bareback and then have the bottom blow the top. That is inadvisable. In fact, it is ewwwwwwwwsonotsexy!
Aieeee,
