Perfectly Imperfect

But actual banners don't bother me that much. I tend to frown at them a little bit when they're really big and obnoxious, but for the most part I think of them as fanart that goes along with the fic. What I'm talking about are plain screencaps that haven't been altered in any way except for being cropped. To me it feels like the author looked at the story and said to themselves, 'Oh, I've written a fic. I'd better include a picture of the two main characters in each other's general vicinity so that the readers will know who they're reading about.' Most of the time the pictures don't even fit the feel of the fic. I saw one the other day that was for a piece of fluff that showed the characters glaring at the camera. I just don't get it.
