It drives me *batshit* when you're reading a fic that is from, say, Sam's pov and suddenly you have three or four lines of what *Dean* is thinking/feeling, and then you go back to Sam....that drives me *nuts*. Just - no.

And i hate it when my boys - any of my boys - are made into weepy messes, or get hysterical over nothing, or can't actually *do their job*. Gah.

Also, screeching Americanisms in Spike's mouth make me say bye-bye, as do screeching Britishisms in Sam'n'Dean's mouths. Spike might mock someone by using an American word or term, but he doesn't talk like a California surfer-dude, and never will.

And Sam'n'Dean do not say 'whilst', or pay with 'notes', or do 'maths'.
*flails*

Does *anybody* say whilst? I thought people stopped saying that in the Regency period. LOL

I have one word for you in terms of fic hate:

"Wot?"

OMG.
Yes. And 'S'not' for 'It's not'. Please, please, please.
Spike is *not* an undereducated Cockney who drops his h's and never says 'ing' but always 'in'. Gaaaaaah.

And even if he was, even if he was,

SPELL IT CORRECTLY AND TRUST YOUR READERS TO HEAR HIS VOICE.

OMG.

Jayzus, YES.
He didn't have so much an accent as a way of speaking.
