Ok there are several things that really annoy me in life, but these are specific to RPing so here it goes.
The misuse of "You're" as "Your" - this also applies to every day life, but it really, really bugs me. It's not as a typo, but I've seen people consistantly do it. Leaving me to run all plot twists/making of plot- self explianatory. Cannons acting nothing like themselves- For example: Lilies with short hair, Potters that are scared of/in love with Snape, Snapes that are sex icons=WRONG! If a character is set up one way by the writer do not change it damnit! This is why I don't do many fan plays...the very rare ones that last longer than five posts are that way because A.) I like the player's style and B.) The character is the actual character. Mary Sues & Gary Stus- SELF EXPLAINATORY Perfect chars- The perfection is horrid-FLAWS ROCK! Unnessicarily emo characters- Your life is perfect why be sad? Overly tragic pasts that don't make sense- If you're a demon possessed baby who's dad raped your mom and then ate her after your birth and then raped you and no one likes you...BLAH BLAH BLAH. Enough! Bad s**t does happen to people and chars, but it doesn't have to be everything, nor do they have to be depressed about it. Quickly declining post lengths- It'll start off promising and end up with a quarter of a paragraph...this is just sad and will get me to quit. I'll add to this later....the list continues....
