ETA Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] thisisbone I wish for you all the shirtless Taylor Kitsch your eyes can handle with some bonus Channing on the side ;-) Is it time for Magic Mike yet?

Dear Avengers Fandom,

For the love of all you that hold holy aka Thor:

I know Tony's last name

Pepper is not a shrieking harridan

Pepper is not a harridan

Pepper is not an obstacle to be over-come in the course of making Tony gay

People can have fluid sexuality. Even people who are extremely hetero on the Kinsey scale can sometimes to be attracted to a person, not a gender

Learn what a POV is and stick with it

Wondering and wandering mean completely different things. For that matter so do then and than. And their, they're, there.

If you write one sentence in present tense, generally speaking you should write *all* your sentences in present tense. There are some exceptions, find someone who knows more about grammar than you or I to explain them. The same works for past tense. Pick one and stick with it!

Get a beta! No really, get a beta. Or at least use the spell check function on your computer, I know you have one all computers come with them. USE IT.

If you say in your summery [see what I did there?] that you don't even know what your fic is about or that it's about ALL THE FEELS or you'll only write more if you get comments you're turning off an entire audience of ancient fandom hags like myself [and really my decade plus doesn't mark me as ancient there are people who have been doing this for 35 years +]

Please for the love of Thor, Odin, Loki, and Frigga have a fucking feeling instead of a feel. Or at least quit tagging about your feels. Your tags that you think are clever? Are actually annoying as shit. Having more than 10 tags on a story just so you'll have the most tags? Not the way to get readers.

Please lady solstice let it run. I may be going a bit crazy here.

My avengers tag at pinboard is rocking with the awesome fics, but work has been very slow so I've been less discerning with what I'm reading due to boredom and that leads to posts like this.

May work pick up just enough that you only have time for quality fic. :)

*that* would be the biggest blessing of all *g*

Another aggravation is that I'm having car trouble, really weird car trouble. I finally got it to the local mechanic today I'm hoping he can fix it so I don't have to spend a day at the dealership.

Car trouble is never good. Hope that turns out to be an easy fix today.

just heard from the mechanic that he's putting in a new starter which would totally explain all the trouble.
