Hmm. . . I suppose I should ammend this since AP is writing a fanfic, despite the fact that we can't string together two coherent sentences. But I won't.
We don’t write fanfics. Why? Did you really just wonder that?! Have you seen the rest of our site? We can barely string together two coherent sentences, and you wonder why we don’t write stories. If you weren’t our only reader, we’d question your mental capacity. (Like reading this in the first place wasn’t enough to question your mental capacity.) We like reading other people’s fanfics, though. Well, some other people’s fanfics. Only well written ones, and none that contain the following.
ThingsOWeOHateOAboutOFanfics
Sex scenes. No, no, no, no, no. Are you trying to make us cry?
When the boys are in North Dakota recording an album. The premise has to be somewhat believable.
When the boys hook up with high schoolers. Technically, we suppose Justy is young enough, but no one else. Especially not Chris. That’s illegal, not to mention sick and wrong. No cradle robbers.
When the boy and his love interest say “I love You,” within a week of meeting. This doesn’t happen. Another bad phrase: “You’re the one.” Never tell someone that they’re the one on the day that you meet them.
When an *NSYNCer dies and their love interest kills themself.
When Lance is gay. He’s my favorite! He cannot be gay! Although I see where you’re coming from… but still, no.
When the girl is an *NSYNC fan but doesn’t recognize the boys. When all five are in one room. And when they’re introduced using their real names. Even JC, who people seem to have a need to introduce as Josh. None of this rings a bell for the girl.
When the author has made a point of mentioning that the couple has decided to wait in their relationship and they sleep together a week later. Why did the author bother even mentioning it? And the author better write in that the girl was worried about getting dumped now that she’s slept with him after knowing him for ten days.
When one of the boys quotes lyrics from one of their songs. Singing to the girl is one thing, but quoting the songs? Smooth. Real smooth.
