Wonderful comment! I agree, of course. Although, I think just recently I've run into some really great 1st person narratives that have worked really well. Of course in the hands of a terrible author this is a terrible idea because like you said, it involves the "I am my character" mentality which I fucking hate. But, just recently I've run into 1st person narratives that completely work and only made me feel more involved in that character's thought process. Let me know if you want to try reading it and I'll give you the name of the story.

Using whole lines from canon.
Oh man, I know. This never used to bother me back in the day but right now? Now, no. Never. Stop it. Be original.

Don't spell everything out for me, I am not a moron.
Exactly. If someone bolds, there are many italics, or even capital letters in a fic? I'm insulted. I really can understand something without the extra emphasis. Sometimes? That's fine but if it's throughout it really is as if the author thinks I'm not going to understand anything.

No, no! I love long comments and responding to them as well. I definitely understand what you mean. I think that there's too much of all of this. There's especially a lot of it occurring around our little fandom that could so, yes. I suppose this stemmed from this. I don't really see many complaints from other fandoms but I'd like to know if the errors are there as well. I'm sure there are but they aren't as rampant or blatantly obvious.
