    Summary

    We all make mistakes. Even the best of us, authors who have been writing for years, slip up. That being said, I’ve noticed a lot of writers, particularly young ones or newbies, taking a shot in the dark with spelling, grammar, and general formatting. While they should be applauded for sticking with their stories, these mistakes can frustrate readers and turn them away from a solid story. How many of us have clicked into a fic, only to leave when we find one big wall of text? How many of us have physically recoiled at an inappropriate synonym or substitution, the phrase snapping us out of the story and haunting us long after we’ve finished reading?

    For those writers who are starting out, inexperienced, or simply unsure, here are a few things I’ve noticed.

    Summary

    “So Bruce’s longtime best friend had suddenly decided to start eye-fucking him at random. So what? Bruce was used to being the object of this kind of attention. It didn’t bother him.

    It was—should have been fine. The issue was that it was Clark, and Bruce had enough trouble remaining rational about him at the best of times.”

    or

    Bruce and Clark go from friends to lovers the long, long, long way round. Featuring a number of revelations, a well-meaning but nosy son (Dick) and, most prominently, two adult men being completely and utterly useless.
