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??

Are you British? Canadians and amercians pretty much never say ass to be donkey, it's always your kiester! :D Actually, we usually say it more like "You're being an ass" meaning an asshole, or jerk.

I'm Norwegian, actually, but I might as well be British.

I know it's not supposed to be donkey, but 'ass' just sounds so silly to me. It's sounds a bit vulgar, and not fun-vulgar either:P Arse sounds more like... well, an arse. When someone writes ass I think of something that wobbles. xD It's okay in American stories, like a House fic, for instance but in HP? Bah.
