this is apparently a subject of great debate in fandom. or, at least, it apparently has been in the past. but i'd like to complain about fanfiction headers. specifically regarding a couple of fics i have read recently.
dear author, you called this a curtains!fic. after reading, i do believe you are misinformed. unless you like your curtains getting infested with fleas and bursting into flames.
dear author, please do warn about the MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH that happens in the SECOND TO LAST chapter of this 20-some chaptered fic. what a fucking waste of my time, asshole.
dear author, please do label the correct pairings. you may think you ship x/y, but i do believe you have an x/z kink. you think that's hot? fine. but I DON'T.
i don't get what's so fucking difficult about properly labeling fic, or why authors are so against doing this. it's really pissing me off. seriously, KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE.
