I like crossovers when the people writing them can keep all characters incharacter (I myself am writing one...)
Cloudmonet: The OC's name is Quin Separable . . . pretty unusual as far as I know. In fact her first name is spelled the guy's way.

... pointless stories that have no plot other than to write the characters having sex as many times as possible... badly written sex stories... I'd wager that those terms would describe a good 60-70% of the "lemon" fics that are out there. |

Not to mention it's your screen name.
(SECOND THOUGHTS)
I don't know. Usually I'm quite possessive about my characters and copyrights, but then, we're all using Kim, Ron, Drakken, Shego, Bonnie, Monique, Monkey Fist, whoever else, without the owners' expressed permission, and sometimes in ways Bob, Mark, Steve, David, Disney Corp. et al, would probably disagree with. Under these circumstances, I'd feel a wee bit hypocritical raising a fuss if someone else had a good use for Belinda Brockmeyer (presently Felix Renton's girlfriend), or Paolo Gonzales (the mad herpetologist), or Steven Rasp and George Wind (two more Global Justice agents), or Scruff, Tuff, and Natty (three eco-activists for "Greensleeves". Go ahead and borrow them if you want them. Just give Cloudmonet credit for inventing these guys, like you give Bob and Mark credit for inventing the others, and I'm fine.

Hi, I forgot to mention that I dislike Shego/Ron fanfics. Actually I dislike Shego/anyone who isn't Drakken fanfics.
P.S. DS Rocks!

It would be nice to let them check the story to make sure your OC is in character, but hey... do the right thing!  |

Yeah but they didn't have a good use...they just used her to make fun of Kim and Ron (which isn't something my char would do!). She was in there for all of two lines, but you can create any character for that. That's another thing, I recieved no credit whatsoever. |

Oh, I agree with you, I was just ruminating about the issues raised by the whole situation. I think we ought to show each other the same level of respect we show Mark and Bob, at least. Me, if I need a character who's not on the show, I'll just make one up. It's not hard to do at all. That's why I asked if the name was common-- some names, like Anne or Dawn Stoppable, are fairly obvious extensions of the "Unstoppable" punning pattern already set up by the show, which people might arrive at independently of each other. I'm probably not the only person who's ever speculated that Shego's real or original name might be something like Sheila Goble, either, with analogous names for her brothers. Quin Separable, though it's a sort of similar pun, I've never encountered except your screen name and character.
I thought my name, cloudmonet, had no direct Kim Possible relevance, then I saw "Team Impossible," in which Ron uses "Claude, monet," as a pun for money. The world is strange.

yea... now, why would they always seem to have Kim and Ron having sex in those horrible, badly written OOC stories. And, also, they're only, what?? 18?? But besides that.. they are NOT ones for doing that stuff ...  |

Ugg, there are some really horribly written fanfics out there. Some things that bug me:
-improper punctuation
-OOC-ness
-TyPiNg LiKe ThIs
-Bolding the whole story
- Writting very 'fluffy' fanfics that don't have points(I don't mind fluff if it's used right)
- Pairings such as Shego/Ron, Drakken/Kim, Ron/Bonnie,
etc. {If someone does these pairings they are usually OOC and not enough back story to it.}
-If you have a story that says "lemon, lime" whatever do explain what it means. (Luckily I knew what one was a long time ago when I saw them at FF.Net.)

I made a list a while ago and never finished it. Might as well do it now.
3. Angsty death fics that revolve around Kim or Ron. I've read a lot of fics that had so much angsty death that I just had to parody it. And I did. (I'll link to the fic if you want) There are some things I consider "angsty death", but most death fics I'm fine with, and some I LOVE.
4. Slash with no apparent reason. "Drakken and Ron love eachother becuase they do" just doesn't cut it. There are times when slash fans think that this is stupid when done in straight couples (not very often at all) when they do it with slash. Kinda sad, really.
5. People yelling at you for writing slash. "YOU'RE SICK HE/SHE'S NOT GAY!!!!" Even sadder than this is the fact that they never actually read your story. Sometimes they do and say "It was very well written, BUT IT WAS SICK!!!". XD They sound so stupid when they do that.
6. Making seven chapters of a fanfic and just stopping, continuing your other fan fics. I can understand it with one or two chapters, but seven (or more)?
I may think of more later.

I've started reading (and dropped) so many stories that are all "Ron's suicidal ZOMG!!1!" that never go into any good reason as to HOW such a chipper person as Ron got to such a state. Angst is well and good, but for goodness sake, have the reasons/background story to back it up and make it make sense! |

I can't stand when people start stories and don't finish them. I'm trying to finish my story, but it's not going to be easy, considered school, writer's block, procrastination, ;D, etc... As you can see, it's a little difficult. ;D |

The two angst one-shots I wrote didn't have Ron even considering suicide even when Kim died and despite the fact that a reviewer told me that it would have been more effective. [/shadow] |

To be honest, I'm actually writing an a fic that actually does have a bit of "angsty death." And yet... I like to let the characters have a good cry, feel sad (because of course they would) but, for all that is good and holy, stay themselves while they are sad and get back to reality! I'm slipping bits of humor into the fic, anyway. |

I think you have kind of missed the point of fanfics. I'm glad to see that you have obvious likes and dislikes but you really limit yourself to what is out there. I'm not a big fan of slash but some of them are very well done, same with hero/villan pairings. There really has to be a wide variety or there wouldn't be much to read, it would have all been written. I'm not saying you should like all of it, but don't dismiss it out of hand. Exactly what is the point of fanfics, then, if we have missed it? Yes, there is a wide variety out there, but I see no reason for us to read what does not interest us or what we don't agree with. I've seen exceptions to everything, granted, but that is no reason for me to make a point of reading such things. |

The Ronless Factor. I've also found that if I keep around the people I horribly kill off, it tends to be less angsty/whiney. I'm actually fixing up the next chapter right now. www.fanfiction.net/s/2350982/1/
