    Male writer writing a transformation fic making a big deal of the vagina and anus travelling closer together and "they were only an inch apart now" like this is a tiny distance. How far apart do you think they are, dude?

    Pretty sure legolas by laura is a troll and I know there are a lot of other things wrong with it, but one thing which stuck with me is how Legolas feels the need to explain to Laura what the orcs did to her, TWICE, even though Laura was obviously there at the time. Were I feeling uncharitable I could make a comment about mansplaining or about how so many fictional heroines are so useless that they'd probably actually need a man to explain their own experiences to them, but I think that was pretty far from the author's mind whether she was trolling or not.

    Jesus that's a lot of tags. And I sometimes worry that I abuse the tag feature...

    I can't decide what I like more: the tag "you don't need to read it" (no, no I don't), or the use of "arson" as a verb.

    and so many of the tags are redundant too

    there at least two tags for homosexuality, at least five for drugs, at least five for crime, and multiple about the feels the author expects you to get from it
    hahahaha yeessss, it's hilarious :D:D:D

    and i'm so glad that the author won't force me, clockwork orange-style, to read their ridiculously tagged crossover fic. like, i just assumed they wouldn't but it's real nice to know for sure that they won't. :P

    and omfg, i didn't notice it till you pointed it out and like, they do know that "set on fire" is indeed a phrase one can use, right? that there is already a phrase that means what "arson" does? right? :P

    i think "irony", "team," and "clothing" are my favorite tags on there, but yes i also noticed how graciously the author informed me that i didn't have to read it.

    i wonder if the author would've expected us to believe all the characters were naked, had they not tagged "clothing"

    clothing tags are problematic because sometimes i want to get rid of an itchy tag but i'm too impatient to find the scissors so i just try and rip it out by hand and i end up tearing a hole in the skirt of my favorite maxi dress. #homophobia

    I love that they've managed to literally have the main characters doing arson, murder, and jaywalking.

    No, fic author, if a character breaks into another character's committed relationship and gets that other character to cheat on their SO with them and then isn't sorry at all when they are caught, they are an asshole.

    Yes, it was consensual on the cheater's part but it is still being an asshole to the cheated-on person because the cheated-on person did not sign up for that happening in their relationship, and the non-married cheater doesn't even give a fuck about the parameters of the married couple's relationship.

    This isn't poly, this is just being a jerk.

    I feel personally discriminated against by clothing tags because if I remove the them, how will I know how to wash the clothes? I mean sure it's usually pretty obvious but what if I forget.

    Jaywalking is only cool if you're late for class in Chicago.

    I'm 12 and what is this?

    How will I remember which things can safely get thrown in the dryer and which clothes need to get line-dryed? Some of these are obvious, but some of them look like they can survive the delicate cycle and are lying.
