Post subject: | Fanfic pet peeves |
Warning: to anyone who wrote a fanfic with these in them, don't take this personally. It's just my opinion. Here's mine: 1. Venkman never makes jokes. 2. Ray's enthusiasm isn't there. 3. Janine doesn't show up even when she should. 4. Similarly, *Winston* doesn't show up even when he should. 5. Egon isn't brainy anymore and is obsessed over a boring Mary Sue character. 6. Egon is too expressive. 7. The Ghostbusters being unable to deal with problems even though the problems should be a lot easier to deal with than, y'know, preventing the apocalypse. |

(Maybe they could be forgiven on Dave Coulier) Quote: 2. Ray's enthusiasm isn't there. Or it's so overdone he's turned into a childish idiot. Quote: 3. Janine doesn't show up even when she should. 4. Similarly, *Winston* doesn't show up even when he should. Good gravy, even the pros have been guilty of that one--one of the things I disliked about GB2 was the way Winston was almost completely ignored between the opening party scene and the team officially reactivating. Dammit, I still think he should have been there for the investigation and the whole courtroom scene. There are FOUR Ghostbusters, dammit, not three. Quote: 5. Egon isn't brainy anymore and is obsessed over a boring Mary Sue character. ... Don't. Get. Me. Started Quote: 6. Egon is too expressive. We've discussed this one elsewhere, but yeah, be careful on that. The first movie was like 2/3 over before he flipped out and screamed at Peck. Quote: 7. The Ghostbusters being unable to deal with problems even though the problems should be a lot easier to deal with than, y'know, preventing the apocalypse. Or worse...you make them look stupid so that your new shiny Sue/Stu can save their asses. I have to point out one story I did that you may get a kick out of: The Legend of Mary Sue |
