In Topic: Fanfiction.net (the Pit) strikes again

This is downright ridiculous.

Seriously, what future updates could clash with having subsequent hyphens in a document?-!
The reason I don't like using their 'official' separators, is because visually, it disrupts the flow of the story. I only use theirs when I need to outline a huge change -as in when reading the entry in a book, or cutting off for author's notes and what not.

Great. Now I'll have to fix up all my work.
And then I'll probably have to do it again when they outlaw that way too.

Specifics? [snip]

Those are just my experiences. If you want more examples, I suggest that you ask Eagle or Nate River.

Compound it with the irritatingly counter-intuitive layout... [View Story]

Harem fics tend to suffer from the same circumstances as super!pairing fics; the types where everyone has to be hooked up with someone. This only works well with crack, because there's just so little characterisation.

Only if the writing is exceptional, or at least has a concept that draws me in. If it only has the concept, but the writing's not up to par, then I usually won't stay for the full duration.

I was just discussing it on msn, but I'd suddenly realised that NaruHina is fast becoming a petpeeve for the sole reason that most of those fics usually butcher Hinata's character. Honestly, you could replace her with another girl and there'd be no difference (or sadly, it'd be more in-character for that other girl).
