    I pretty much agree with all of those!

    Number three..good Lord.
    I find it very funny how all of the stories that have spacing errors and all of that kind of thing get tons and tons of readers/comments. I usually hit the little red X in the corner. I use character pages sometimes. I have been doing more character interviews and it helps me try to develop the character more so I can describe them better in my stories. It's fun too because you get to be that character.

    I don't always have summaries for my stories. Sometimes, I really just can't think of one. It doesn't bother me if a story doesn't have a summary.

    How you feel about the whole comment thing...is exactly how I feel about it. Sure, I'll say Please comment, tell me what you like/dislike, but I'm not going to hold a chapter hostage. That's ridiculous. I write for myself, and the plain enjoyment, and I like to share it with others.

    I agree with all of these except 4 and 7. But that's just me.

    I think 2, 3, and 4 bother me the most. Hahaha. But I agree with you entirely! Heheh. Love you, Sunny. ^_^ I'm one of those who don't know the difference between prefaces and prologues--but I NEVER write those, so I suppose I'm fine. Heh.

    People use preface and prologue interchangeably?
    I had no idea. o:

    & yes, this was informative. I share some of these pet peeves too.
    (ESPECIALLY THE DIALOGUE PART. Formatting is a dealbreaker for me.)
