Fanfic pet peeve

[twasadark]

Okay, I'm reading yet ANOTHER fanfic where Sam and Dean are driving around in the Impala with no destination in mind.  They're just driving.  Um ... with gas at $3.50 a gallon and the frickin' Impala, (which probably gets 2 miles per gallon) I don't think it's realistic for them to just drive around aimlessly.

Cause, you know, I demand realism in my shows about demon-hunting hottie brothers. 

LOL.

With all the fanfic I read, I probably should have a whole list of pet peeves, but the only other one I can think of right now is anything that's poorly written.  Like on ff.net.  Which, to be fair, is really only about 95% of the fics.

So.  That's that.

But you know, they have unlimited cash. Which is so why they sleep at shitty motels and squat on occasion. :p

I figure its stolen/fake credit cards they will never pay for, so the gas is basically free.

Which leaves a big ? about the cruddy motels. This I attempt to fanwank as credit card companies are a lot more critical about hotel charges than they are about gas stations.

But I still want the ep at the end of this season, where, before Dean's scheduled death, they go all out and end up in some insanely expensive luxury suite (which, of course, ends in porn, but doesn't everything?)

Haha, I randomly came across your journal and WORD to your pet peeve. I was just talking about fic annoyances with a friend this evening in which I ranted at length about my own fic peeve: the ready abundance of cell phones in wee!chester flashbacks.

You may have noticed I've been drooling over a few of your fics over the last half-hour or so... as regards ffnet: the good stuff is so much easier to find if you just search by category, because if you don't click on "Romance", that gets rid of all the Mary Sues ;)

btw, Can I friend you? I'm really loving your SN stuff.
