>can I buy some of your adderall?
>yeah sure, just don't tell anyone
>tells fucking everyone
>ok, you dumb slut

>Statements that are clearly false.
I hate it. It doesn't matter if it's fanfiction, movies, or literature. If someone says something stupid- especially in regards to something scientific, I get deep inside me disgusted.

>pretentious pseudo psychology
I don't care how much Nietzsche you've read as the author, if I read some fucking bullshit about human abysses and looking into the void and destroying what you love and that love is biochemistry just tricking us and nothing really matters in that simpering tone, I'll toss the book across the room faster than I'll drop a hot spoon.

>Obnoxious opinions about any artistic medium, especially fashion
I used to think fashion was dumb, just like every other dipshit. Then I actually ended up studying fashion and now I'm strangely protective of it as a whole. You usually end up reading shit like "Fashion, right? Ugh! Those models should eat a burger, amirite? Hahaha! Look at this WEIRD JACKET! Do they think people actually wear stuff like this? HAHAHA!" Fuck you.

On top of that, art in general is a notoriously hard to actually pin down. Usually, you have two types of authors. The "Modern Art is Bullshit" authors, who get snarky and smug about liking Rembrandt and isn't Damien Hirst so dumb?" I'll cut a bitch in real life. I thought the same thing when I was 16, but that's the shit you grow out of. Ragging on modern art is being smug about learning nothing outside of your narrow comfort zone which is the antithesis of an artist, author or other wise.

OR! You get the kind of author who "likes art, but doesn't know anything about it" so you get bullshit platitudes and "artist" characters which are either Pollock knockoffs or "modern artists" who make art using whatever the author had next to their laptop while writing. Then comes 2. but about art. "It's about SOUL! This piece is about the ugliness of humanity". Fucking kill me.

Well, it's about this kid who walks out of a monastery (in the 80s I wanna say?) and walks into the 1500s and becomes an awesome pirate.
Except he glossed over the kid realizing he's in the 1500s, glossed over him trying to figure out how things work 1500 years ago, what to do, joining a ship, becoming a pirate, all of the most exciting possible things to write about, and it's basically half a paragraph for each.

I realized something was wrong. I asked where the city was. The guy said this WAS the city, so I stole and apple and got on a ship a week later.

That's basically how it goes. Why? Goddammit, why would you do this to me?

Anybody got any decent time travel stories that aren't sci-fi?

How do I stop my writing from becoming repetitive?
>and then, I verbed adjectively, as he
I want to eat a gun.

I have that edition. It's super nice.

>but does that means it's bad?
>mfw
There's nothing more obnoxious than dismissing something out of hand because it's "childish". There's so much good shit out there, you're shooting yourself in the foot if you bother with that shit.

>one time I had to write a story
>like, 12 yrs ago
>all non-dialog is mistake free
>I wrote the dialog wrong on purpose, because the character was illiterate since it was a fucking medieval setting
>teacher corrects grammar without telling me before posting it on the wall
>never trust teachers ever again to not be fucking morons
>try a few years later anyway
>I don't really understand this? Teacher asks.
>Give it to other students
>all of them understood it fine
Fuck teachers.
SHE CHANGED MY FUCKING DIALOG.

YA romance novels should be abolished. Make them be really great friends instead. Fuck love, friendship is where it's at.
