    Back on the copy-pasted script issues, I have a particular instant-backspace-level loathing for when the writer types out the song lyrics and changes them to refer to the characters and locations they're now using, and in doing so makes them no longer rhyme or scan.

    It's like the moral implications of 'helping' people to god tier. In my fic you have Gamzee and Vriska and Aradia, aka Team DIE EVERYONE YOU'll COME BACK STRONGER ::::D, versus almost everyone else, who are all still operating under the 'killing people or encouraging them to commit suicide to hit god tier is still kind of Not Good, guys' mindset. They're all getting a little less uptight about it as time goes on, but that's because there aren't that many of them left who still need to god tier, so the point is rapidly becoming moot. Vriska would absolutely mercy kill someone with a bad splinter to help them out if they whined about it too much, now that I think about it...

    This is more of a theory gripe, but: 'what if all this amazing creative fantastic stuff was all happening in the main character's delusional mind' junk.

    Sucker Punch might be a controversial movie but it did that idea better than most edgy fans.

    Sucker Punch took the premise and played around with the interpretations of it, rather than using it as a weak justification for ~*bizarre*~ circumstances. That makes the difference, I think.

    Now I want to see a fanfic in which the perfectly ordinary setting is a delusion of a character who lives in a super-weird world.

    So, School-Live! (not a fic, an anime, but definitely that kind of inversion).

    There's a Tumblr post circulating about turning grimdark things into happy light fluffy stuff that way. e.g. ASoIaF/GoT is a DnD game with a sadistic DM who has vowed to kill everyone's characters.

    I'm crying who the fuck wrote that and which poor character did they pin it on

    honestly Sudden Unexplained Musical fic that has a sense of humor about itself sounds incredibly quality... I kind of want to write some now...

    I mean. he is a fucking pirate. okay, okay, "privateer," but those are literally just government-sanctioned pirates. although I feel your pain about terrible fucking quirks, my god.

    WHYYYYY WOULD YOU DO THAT RHYMING IS INCIDENTAL BUT THEY HAVE TO SCAN

    If you don't want to read through to the line, it's McGonagall to Draco and Enoby.

    Oh, here's fanfic pet peeve of a completely different sort: my need to obsessively refresh my AO3 dashboard after I post something to watch the hits and kudos counts. The last thing I posted was a month ago and I don't think I've gotten another hit on it in at least a week and I'm still doing it periodically. :::PPP
