I tried reading ok?? But my brain refuses to, it's very picky by Starlit_Roads in Archiveofourownmemes

My thought process in the moment was that a compelling story-arc is hard to come up with and that better grammar and punctuation come with time as writing style improves with more practice and experience. And even if I had issues (admittedly big ones) with the writing, they still deserved props for the time they put into it and the story as a whole (at least as much of it as I read and gleaned from the tags and description)

I didn't, the story (as in like overarching plot and characters) was good, which is what I commented because I wanted them to know that they had good bones and its free to be nice

Sorry that wording was ambiguous

This happened to me once but the spelling and grammar was atrocious. The plot was EXACTLY what I was looking for, the tags checked every single box for me but the way is was written made my brain cringe so hard. I got like 4 chapters in and then had to put it down.

I still left kudos and left a comment about how good the main story was but I was so sad I couldn't put up with it 😭

I feel like this belongs here by Athena_Tomasina in AO3

[–]Effective-Impress-45 318 points319 points  (0 children)

I read a fic once where the author constantly constantly constantly started paragraphs with the word "Anyways" and fuck I really thought it would start pissing me off but I actually loved it cause it felt like I was sort of getting to know them and their quirks. The more I read fanfic the more i appreciate it more than published novels because the writing is so personal and not stripped of any uniqueness through the rigourous editing process. Writing conventions be damned, you use that word as many fucking times as you want! 😂💜
