Ah, the tribulations of looking for decent fanfic

[doyle]

Dear Santa,

There's only one thing I want for Christmas this year. Please could you fix it so that all promising fanfic writers, those who have interesting ideas and a nice turn of phrase or dialogue, or who write exactly the kind of fic I want to read (be it angst, schmoopy fluff or even the dreaded high school AU) learn to fucking spell and punctuate properly because it's really really pissing me off!

Or at least send them pretty beta readers in their stockings.

Get me this teeny little thing and I'll overlook that spacehopper I didn't get when I was seven.

Lots of love,
doyle

rereads own fic for glaring errors then realizes this is major aggrandizing self absorption

Snerk.
But glad to know I wasn't the only one denied a space hopper. Sniff, I had to borrow the cousin's. I'm still traumatised.
Mind you, given the nearly blinding myself with a scooter thing, this may have been a good call by the parental units.

Or get them the great word program I have that underlines all the incorrect spelling and grammar problems! So nice.

Hmm. It seems like I have the REVERSE problem. I mean, my spelling and punctuation are fine, but...I have no interesting ideas or nice turns of phrases.

Go figure. :)

I disn't get a space hopper either--Christopher got it. *is thankful most of the Potter and Star Wars fandoms can spell--I say most*
