>>28345504I drop more Pokemon fanfics than any other type of fanfic due to the following
>No capitalisation, no paragraphing, no punctuation are the biggest indication of poor writing>If it has more sex, porn than an average novel, pokemon are the MCs, dropped if bestiality, dropped if porn tags are used in the summary>Plot is unsophisticated, too safe, unresearched, prose is too stilted, prose is too bland, gratingly edgy, black and white morality, coffee shop AU, High school AU, genre blind unrealistic characters, military, plot is too SOL, plot is very slow or otherwise nonexistent>Game mechanics: reusing the game (plot, level, moves, battle descriptions) as a crutch, using only inspiration from the games>The fanfic is too short - a sign that it's a no effort story like an alternate scene or the scene rewritten>The fanfic is too long - a sign that the author is rambling rather than keeping it focussed>Too many characters (3 main POVs is ideal, 5 is pushing it), poor selection of characters, random characters from other random shit, characters do not develop or their game personality is used as a crutch, the MC is an OC, it's an characterxOC story, 1 million short stories about a whole bunch of random characters, characters that I don't give a shit about, a whole bunch of forced pairings that I don't give a shit about (also falls into the too many POVs trap)>written entirely in a different language from english or is translated>crossed over with something retarded eg Hunger Games>5 times x did/1 time x didn't>The summary of the fanfic is poor (spelling, grammar, describes stupid things such as characters being cute)
