Im on yr flist spammin yr internets! :D

Okay, final post for today. (can you tell it's raining and I'm bored? The kids are milling about, so I can't draw or do 'research' *wink wink* so I'm spamming you guys instead!

I have a silly pic of me from prophecy, and a question, for my lovely flist:

First, the pic:

joanwilder aka Raewhit bought me a lovely gift. I opened the box and was like...WTF? I'm not terribly schooled in the land of smex toys, (aside from my trusty vibrator "Big Red",) but when I took them out, it became apparant. NIPPLE CLAMPS!

I, of course, had to get a pic with them! (and check out my kewl Snarry shirt!)








The question is...

What are your silly pet peeves in fanfic? (or art, for that matter)?

I don't mean legitimate ones, like proper grammar and spelling, or correct use of the english language, but what are your 'back button' triggers? What silly thing pulls you out of a story?

One of mine, that I found today, while reading an otherwise very entertaining House/Wilson story was thus: SHELL I'm sorry, I know that it's perfectly acceptable, but I HATE it when someone calls someone's ear a shell, or "shell of his ear" etc. I don't know why, but it bugs the shit out of me.

Now, I didn't hit the back button for that, but the story lost it's momentum.

You??

Me. Fucking. Too. The "shell of an ear" phrase was kind of poetic the first thousand times. I don't mind "scroll" or "rim" so much since, well, ears do kind of scroll and they do have rims, so it actually makes some sense.

I also cringe over any sexual euphemisms that are just dirty. Trashy-dirty as opposed to sexy-dirty, if that makes sense. Stuff like "creaming" and "shooting his wad," unless they're being said by the kind of character who would actually use that kind of language, and even then, it's a stretch for me to buy it.

And...apparently, since the last time I checked my flist, you've upped your kink factor and started singing the National Anthem? So much productivity on your side, madam. Whoa. Congrats on getting the gig, and be sure to keep that picture away from the kids. =)

So much productivity on your side, madam.

Yeah, I'm so fucking cosmopolitan it hurts! =D

I must point out, that the clamps are attached to my SHIRT. No actual nipples were hurt in the making of that pic!

amen on the trash/sex talk. It begins to get a bit 'Hustler' sometimes! ;^)
