ah yes, the sexy sounds of murder. That fic series was fucked up. and spelled the author's name wrong.
Ah, The Sword of Truth. The one where the "hero" murders a crowd of devoted pacifists who are, and I quote, "armed only with their hatred for moral clarity."
Didn't the author try to justify it by saying that they liked how it looked better when they spelled it wrong?
Now you understand my burning hatred of it. I do sincerely hope that writer got better at making her writing make sense - there was some potential there, it just... yeah. The part I remember best now was minor to me at the time, but I get the impression she wasn't going back and rereading as she wrote; notice how in one the villain's motives do a complete 180 mid-fic? I also really, really don't understand the leap of logic that involved heroes fucking to the sound of someone dying. Yes, I remember the "moral clarity" line. I've only read through about half of a sporking of the first book, nowhere near to where that line actually happens, but I heard of it years ago and it's stuck with me ever since.
Don't kinkshame! >:( #do I mean the sexy murder or the misspelling? #only you can decide that for yourself
The kinks in themselves I can appreciate a lot more now, but the way they were done was pretty WTF-y and definitely irritatingly inconsistent.
Back on the non-indicative summaries, non-indicative titles are a similar problem. Quoth TVTropes; if mowing the lawn was all Cloud did in Cloud Mows the Lawn and going to Taco Bell was all Dipper did in Dipper Goes to Taco Bell, we'd all be much better off.
What was the term and the fandom they were writing in? This is a thing I'm trying to figure out how to do well myself.
It's a novel, not a fanfic. One of Garth Nix's Old Kingdom series. The term used is "singleton"/"natural singleton," with enough surrounding spelling out that she has zero interest in sex or relationships that it's pretty unambiguous.
Cool, thanks! Also derp, shoulda recognized that, i thought Clariel sounded familiar. Need to reread those.
i heard someone complaining about the sword of truth series and i was summoned i work in a bookstore and every time i'm in the fantasy section and i see his name i say loudly and scathingly "ugh, terry goodkind" the WORST okay back to lurking
A specific character's autism, or like... all autism, forever? Both are nonsensical but the latter would be stupid enough to possibly be hilarious.
Well, sure! Everyone knows that if a composite number of people bring each other to simultaneous orgasm, the ff.net fairy will come down from the stars and grant one problematic wish.
I feel this on a spiritual level, here meaning that every time I walk into the spiritual/witchy/new-age section, "ugh, Judika Illes."
Oh lord is she? Easier to just link my tag on the matter. TLDR, she is an author who slides under the radar most of the time because people don't look too closely at her massive 1000 spells book. People I otherwise trust reccing her to newbies makes me scream.
