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.

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.

I was just wondering about that the other day! Trying to remember what was going on in the 90s or even last week is far too taxing on my poor little brain, so I had to give up figuring out when cell phones became popular - lol!

I'm a year older than Sam, so I remember the technology of my childhood pretty well. My mother was an early adopter of one of the old school, giant ass car phones and by the time I was in high school (96-00) both of my parents had cells (still giant and clunky). However, they were still a pretty rare thing, there weren't a whole lot of towers around, and you can bet no kids my age had their own phone.

I'm a year older than Sam, too. Well, make that LOTS of years - lol!! I was watching Lethal Weapon the other day and Mel Gibson was talking on a cell phone ... the thing looked about a foot long and like it weighed 20 pounds. It's funny how quickly things change!
