Really, no need to panic. I took this as a 'guide' and wrote a fanfic or two and haven't been lynched yet. Of course, maybe it's because some of the nitpicks don't apply to me, like I don't do crossovers (I'm like Monk and his food; my fandoms shouldn't touch), I don't do Wincest (seriously? brothers!? squick doesn't even begin to describe it), and, well, google is a writers best friend for everything else. Seriously, put it out there, we need more SPN fic.

Sigh...
It seems that, lately, whenever I venture over to ff.net every other fic is Destial or Sabrial. WTH? Does nobody write genfics anymore? Drives me UP THE WALL.
And, please, m&m, don't let this thread scare you away from writing SPN fic. I only started it because I needed a place to gripe about whatever I griped about in the first post. Use it as a guide, like sis does. and she's right, we need more SPN fics!sigpic

Thanks RIG, I plan on using it as a guide, I'm just trying to figure out how. So...is this thread only for pet peeves or are we allowed to brainstorm too?

Basically, I try to stay away from: anything pre-pilot, Wincest, Destiel, and torture.. I like to whump Dean but I like to keep it light and not life threatening which is hard to find in this fandom, lol..

Uhm...I'd kinda like this thread to stay a pet peeves only thread if that's okay. Sorry. I can start a brainstorming thread if you like. Call it something like "SPN Fanfic Brainstorming" or "SPN Fanfic Help and Brainstorming" or whatever you'd like to call it. If you have a better title/name that's cool.

Also! *slight rant coming!* Why is it so hard to find a fic where Dean (or Sam) AREN'T gravely injured? Or where an injury is slight at first but turns into something worse? I mean, what's wrong with having a fic where Dean's just hurt and needs to rest? Like, because he physically cannot "work".. Is that too boring or something?? I think I've read one fic like that and it's called "Rush". But even still there was a case going on and stuff.. *sighs* Okay, rant's over

I don't know if it's quite what you're looking for, but I have an NC 17 Dean Jo fic over at Archive of Our Own and ff.net (I tweaked a little tiny bit more before AOOO so it's a wee bit more complete) that has a scene it where they're kind of comparing injuries and scars...would something like that do ya for now?sigpic

Another nitpic I have is when a story is not structured properly. I have encountered many a fic where it's just one long paragraph. Or a bunch of thick paragraphs where the dialogue from both boys is all mashed together. You would think that these people must read fics so they'd know how to structure their own, right?
As soon as I encounter one such fic I have to walk away from it, no matter how much I like/love the type of story it is, the idea.sigpic
