A soldier, not a whore or group-rape victim, thank you very much
...wait, what? What?

Why the hell would Rip van Winkle ever be "the fuck toy of every man in the ranks, except for one"? (Yes, that is an actual quote.) Ever? Ever?!

Particularly during Hellsing, she is respected. Respected! It is amazing how often (percentage-wise - I'm not finding a lot of fics) I've seen by now the oh woe is me, I'm only their playtoy/entertainment, because I'm a weak girl, waaaah, angst! and it's ridiculous.

...
...Because you know, even if one of them tried making an unwanted move at her, why wouldn't she just shoot them into oblivion? Or kill them with superior vampire!skills?

Please don't take her as anything less than a threat, just on the basis of how she got killed easily by Alucard. Nearly everyone gets killed easily by Alucard.
I know I'm late to the fandom, but is there a good Rip fanfic hiding somewhere? Would anyone happen to have a recommendation? Pretty please? Additionally, a Dandy fic-rec would also be appreciated; poor him is so ignored.

Plot bunny for sale
I didn't know where else to post this, but if there is a better community for it, please let me know!

I've had this plot bunny gathering dust for a while and even though I posted it a theforce.net, no one has picked it up and I thought I should try posting it here. It's Post-Return of the Jedi, Han/Leia, Luke/OFC and mentions of past Obi-Wan/Sabe.

Under the cut because I tend to ramble )

Any takers?

How To Write A Star Wars Fanfic?
For the longest time I've had a plan on how I would have liked to have seen the first three films done differently. Some of my friends really want me to write it, but I'm wondering how do I start out writing a Star Wars Fanfic? I don't know much about the Star Wars Universe outside of watching the saga.

Do I have to know a lot of stuff beforehand or can I learn as I write? Is there any recommended resources?

Thank you to all who replies in advance! :)

Lube rant - nothing explicit
Ok, folks, a quick word about lubricant. This is not a rant about what kind to use or when to use it. No, it's far more basic than that. When two (or more, for that matter) people are having sex and one of them has lube on his or her hands, when that person tries to grip their partner... they CAN'T! The whole *point* of lubricant is to make a surface slick.

I see the lights coming on out there.

I remember the first time I encountered this in RL and man, did we get a giggle or two out of it. Well, I did. I don't think he thought it was all that funny when his hand slipped off my hip and he proceeded to lose his balance and fall off the bed. :-) (Ok, he thought it was funny later... much later. :-)

The point is, when you have someone whose hand is "slick with lube" successfully grip *anything*, you're missing the point. ;-)

(Sheets, or discarded clothes, are great for removing excess lube from hands - generally only takes a moment, too. Course, you're not going to wear that t-shirt until it's washed... well, unless you're into that sort of thing. :-)

Okay Harry Potter fandom, I've got a problem. This is more of a general thing than anything else.

Harry's first name is just Harry. It is not short for Harold or any other name that isn't Harry. Lily Evans' first name is not Lillian or Lilith. It's just Lily, same thing for Harry's daughter Lily. Fred's first name is just Fred, not Fredrick. This goes for Fred, George's twin and Fred II, George's son. 

Translation: Get your names straight.

I'm sure there are similar rants to this for all different fandoms, so if the mods want to delete this post for redundancy or for any reason, you can go ahead.

Write the fic first, dammit
Specific you,

I was going to write a not so nice comment mentioning the fact that despite the fact you have your fic labeled NC-17, H/C, non-con, PWP, gen (I'm not sure how that jives) and squick, your 400 word fic had nothing that resembled any of those. It also didn't contain the characters you mentioned. In fact nothing happened. Two characters had a few lines of dull, uninformative banter, and then one walked off.

I was going to write a comment about misusing the ratings system, but then I realized you meant this to be the first "chapter." 400 words is not a chapter. It barely qualified as a scene.

If 400 words tired out your imagination to the point where you needed to take a break and publish, I have no faith that you will ever get to that squicky, h/c, non-con, pairingless lemon you have planned. I doubt you will even write chapter 2. Congratulations for falsely advertising your worthless stump of an idea and coming up first on a dozen search lists you don't qualify to be on.

Dear Batman Fandom,

I love wallsex. Oh, how I love wallsex. However, YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.

Let's not even talk about the characterization, but about half the things the fandom in general comes up with in a wall!sex fic are PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

Love,

Me

OKAY I ADMIT IT, I WANT BATMAN FANDOM WALLSEX RECS.

Irritating authors notes
After a line about preparing for a fight: (Awww yeah.Ownage time.)

And more:

(Lighting Mode is where my Faith becomes a blue figure flying around if I use full power.Oh yeah , And when I use that mode , My beam sabers and beam rifles beams are blue.Just to inform you!xDDD)

(Also known as the... Phase Shift amour.Time to own some noobs.Nah I'm kidding.Lol)

'Bleh , Shinn , you're such a sucker. LOL!'

The story is bad anyway, but this just irritates me. You don't need to put silly commentary in the middle of a paragraph! And telling us that you're going to own people, I mean your character is going to own people... just... what? Why?

Has anyone else seen this in fics?

Yet another case of word confusion
A person who is vulnerable might break down and cry.

A person who is venerable, maybe not. They don't mean the same thing, folks.

I should know better than to visit the Pit.
Okay, so you're writing Owen Harper as a six year old. I can live with that, even though there are very few people who can manage to write him IC as an adult. It's your choice. 

But killing his father in the first (very short) chapter? Jumping perspectives without warning? Using childlike language and terminology one minute and complex ideas and concepts the next? Having his (previously seemingly stable) mother turn to alcoholism a few hours after his death? Jesus.

Do. Not. Want.

This is probably a pretty common rant. I wonder - has anyone managed to write a child in fanfiction without him/her being awfully OOC?

Why the hate? ;_;
Anyone else think that when someone feels the need to bash one character to prove how awesome they think another character is (by comparison), they don't seem like real fans of said character?

I guess this could apply to a lot of fandoms and it's become a point of frustration to me now because I keep seeing it:

Dear Authors (not all of them, just a lot of them!)

If you're going to write an AU, then why go to such great lengths to keep everything the same as it is in the canon? All the characters seem to get pretty much the same backgrounds and personalities that they have originally and sometimes that's not done well either because some people like to pigeon-hole personalities, but that's a whole other rant, without taking into account that they've been placed in a different environment (and I don't mean crossover style where it would make sense to keep them the same). If you're going to take them out of their canon setting, why not go wild? There are so many avenues that you could go down and so many facets of a character you could explore and still keep them IC. They don't have to be polar opposites of what they are in canon, you don't have to warp them completely but must you keep them the same, even when it seems irrational and ill-fitting to do so? Or am I wrong? Would doing this, in fact, then be considered as making a character completely OOC?


With love,
