Hey! Is there something that is normally considered fine by others, but still specifically manages to annoy you? If so, what? When reading a story of any kind, are there things that immediately cause you to put it away forever? Are you the relaxed type or do you constantly have the urge to do something, no matter what?
@Sethal Is there something that is normally considered fine by others, but still specifically manages to annoy you? If so, what? I can't really think of anything like that... When reading a story of any kind, are there things that immediately cause you to put it away forever? --The story takes FOREVER to get going --Or the opposite problem--the story gets going TOO quickly --Shock for the sake of shock --Boring/bad characters --romances in a story where a romance wouldn't make any sense --insta-romances--if there's a romance involved, I want to see it developed --A gloomy/depressing world --Very little/no characters I want to cheer for I could go on, but the list is getting long. Are you the relaxed type or do you constantly have the urge to do something, no matter what? I do know how to relax--sometimes my best ideas come when I'm not doing anything.
You seem to be the picky type... Has there been a time you were pleasantly surprised by a story you had at first had assumed to be uninteresting or "badly" written (perhaps according to the criteria you just listed)?
