What I dislike about fanfics and their authors
BronxWench replied to a topic in Personal Rants & Journals
Ugh, the "FLASHBACK!" thing makes me crazy as well. I've used flashbacks, and I've set them apart by the use of italics, showing a deviation from the rest of the chapter without the use of neon or shouting. But those glaring all-caps warnings just ruin the flow of a chapter for me, and act as a turn-off, no matter how good the story might be. On the topic, the endless list of how certain forms of dialogue will be shown also bugs me no ends. If you know how to do it, the reader will pick up on it without a clue card. And yes, I can do without the often far too intimate details of the author's life. If you're writing to work through an issue from your personal life, I applaud you, but if the story's not well written it's not going to hold me no matter how much I admire your pluck and determination. -

Quidam: n. Somebody; one unknown...

I keep coming up with it as Latin...
From the OED:
Rare; L., f: qui;
From Bedell (1624):
Who were these quidams that laid hands on Scory?
Spenser (1579): So many vnworthy quidams, which catch at the garlond which to you alone is dewe. (eccentric spellings his for a change).
And Mountagu (1641): Some individuum vagum, a certaine quidam in the Clouds. (again, spelling his and not me).

Ahh, you found the spenser ref! I looked through and found it only in a latin phrase. Thanks for this
It's especially useful because they show the word can properly sit in a sentence after "this" or "these" All of Spenser's spelling is pretty eccentric. He did some fun stuff tho' -
Happy to help! ::big grin::

Prompt: Gallimaufry "The Gauntlet" From JayDee: I think their gauntlet is easier than ours. At least they get to occasionally whack things with a sword... We'll see how well Wraith has put his past to rest, but Alistair is certainly stepping forward a bit more, and that's never a bad thing. The shy Chantry boy is staking his claim.

Prompt: Frittle "Interlude" From Squishy: Thank you! It's tricky sometimes to write humor, but if I made you snortgiggle, then I'm happy! From JayDee: Well, if Wraith and Alistair hadn't thought about using food like that, they are now... And yes! This was most assuredly protest by art! From bloodravyn: I have nothing to do with it. I'm merely the author, and my characters hijacked me!

Prompt: Embrocation "Drakes and Discoveries" From bloodravyn: Thank you! From JayDee: Somehow, I can see Alistair being savaged by ducks... And yes, had Morrigan thought they would reuse her mix as a lube, she would definitely have made sure they lived to regret it! I do have a few male friends who have had run-ins of the dreadful kind with unpleasant substances, and for a brief few moments actually hoped not to live to tell about it... And as always, thank you!

From the archive: Harry is the frying slave, perhaps?

Prompt: Sheep From JayDee: Thank you! I'm glad it all worked, from the challenge to the claiming of the Chantry boy. That challenge actually did happen in one of my games, and it was a jaw-dropper!

Prompt: Dream From JayDee: Wow! Thank you! You've stuck with this through the seemingly endless series of NoSex tags, and I'm glad that the sex, now that it's arrived, didn't disappoint! And Wraith's not the possessive type, nope, not at all... From bloodravyn: Thank you!
