can we all just pretend this subject line is clever?

1. If I see one more person warn for slash, ESPECIALLY in the same line as something actually deserving of a warning like dub-con, I think I might scream.

2. I'm having trouble pasting text into the LJ text box. The lines of text always end up breaking and then I have to spend forever scrolling through the whole thing and fixing it so it doesn't look like I'm trying to pull some e.e. cummings shit. Anyone else having this problem?

3. I'm getting kind of tired of seeing characters with eidetic memories popping up all over television, especially when their eidetic memory is presented as their biggest defining characteristic.

4. I'm putting together a picspam entirely devoted to dimples. I'm super excited about this. \o/ THardy doesn't really have dimples, so let's go ahead and post a couple pictures of him now so that I won't be sad later when he isn't in my picspam.

1. I especially 'love' that slash warning when the fic is being posted to a slash comm.

3. I'm tired of genius characters that don't work. (I'm looking at you, Joss Whedon.) You need a very good actors for this, with oodles of charisma. And if you need to constantly say how smart they are so they audience will know, it's entirely possible that there's a reason why you need to repeat it.

1. I get that most of the time they're crossposting and just don't bother to change their headers. It's still dumb as fuck though.

3. Ugh. Agreed. And as a general rule, if you have to constantly remind the audience about anything about the character, chances are you're doing it wrong. *sigh*

1. If we can deduce this from the ship, really, no need to warn.
Also, I hate this trend where every little thing 'needs' a warning.

3. So, so many shows ruined with this. UGh.
