In which ratherastory is difficult and nit-picky

[ratherastory]

Everyone has their pet peeves, right? I have many.

The latest one to surface, and it's a recurring problem, but it's been twice in a couple of days now, and I'm officially peeved.

Vampires.

Vampires in pre-series stories.

Remember "Dead Man's Blood?" The boys and John are convinced vampires don't exist/are extinct right up until first season.

Even well-written stories get on my nerves, unless they're explicitly stated to be AU.

It's marring my enjoyment of those fics, which is really too bad. I need to learn to overlook it when they're well-written, I guess. But still. Gnarr.

I actually find that a too "imaginative" way of describing eyes will jolt me out of a story. It's like using wacky verbs instead of "he said" or "she said": best used sparingly. :)

And, honestly, if I have to read one more line about Dean's "jade orbs," I will stab someone with a spork. ;)

Ahahahaha. Jade orbs, haven't seen that one. I am so going to use it just for fun! *looking around for a spork to hand you*
