An open letter to fanfic writers
Dear fanfic writer,
When the title of your story includes the phrase "should of" where clearly you meant "should have" (or even "should've"), it doesn't inspire much confidence on my part in the potential quality of the fic itself. You really need to make sure you have no grammatical errors in your title. It just makes me skip the story. Even if you have grammatical errors in the story, you may still have hooked me with a good plot. But if they're right there in the title I'm just gonna say "Well, there's no way that's gonna be good" and take a pass.
Yours in the quest for better fic,
Brak

that rule of thumb should be placed in anything written b/c that is seriously annoying as all hell!
