Number 15 is wrong because in the first movie when Inuyasha was being rude and asking for Ramen instead of what Kagome had already cooked Kagome sat him at least 10 times.

You got a good point for all of those things people over exaggerate in FanFics. I even over exaggerate on some of those things! But I loved it.

That last part would make for a good fanfic...matter a fact that reminds me of a story I'm working on. It's an original turned fanfic. I don't think I'm going to post it.

Eighth, Naraku is the villian but he's not a bad guy...well maybe Naraku is but Onigumo isn't! Wait you didn't mention him...oh that was the whole bad guy comment..nvrmd! Ninth, We know the bitch is dead. But she's still walking around does that really qualify as dead!?

Okay...lets start off that it's all right to overexgerrate the cuteness of the ears...I mean well..comeon..they're cute! :P Secondly Sesshmaru my be a bad guy but he's not a villian if that's what your getting at. Third, InuYasha doesn't cry about being alone but he doesn't like it either. He just wants to be accepted for who he is. Fourth, Kagome sits InuYasha for ticking her off and because she problaly doesn't like to be called bitch or wench to often either. LOL Fifth, who says Kouga is a bad guy...he doesn't like InuYasha and he's moving in on what we refer to as InuYasha's woman but that doesn't make him bad. Beside I think he hot! LOL SIXTH, Amen to your making it clear for like the millionth time! Dog demand don't purr! I mean when have you ever heard a dog purr?! Seventh, about the emotions. They can't smell them but they can tell when your mood changes. Like when your sad and you cry a dog or cat can smell the change or when your angry and you heat up. Your body actually does emit different scents for different moods/emotions. It's not well defined but a pet that lives with you would be able to tell the difference. Yeah like you have a pet the doesn't live with you. ;) Eighth, Naraku is the villian but he's not a bad guy...well maybe Naraku is but Onigumo isn't! Wait you didn't mention him...oh that was the whole bad guy comment..nvrmd! Ninth, We know the bitch is dead. But she's still walking around does that really qualify as dead!?

I for one loved this. I agree with everything you said. The only thing with #13 is that soemtimes people just want to believe anything so that's what they write down. I agree that he's evil, but sometimes he's a good guy, like whenever Rin is around. All in all I think this was very educational, and that new writers should read this to know what not to do.

you make a good point, but please calm down. of course we 'over exaggerate' in our fanfics. that's what makes it a fairytale. fairytales usally exaggerate a lot of things. i've never seen a golden pumpkin or a house falling on a witch, have you? i'm not flaming, just making a point. thank you.

I thikn YOUR a good fan fiction writer it's just i disagree with what your saying, which is normal. Sometimes people write fanfictions because their bored and thats the only way they know how do describe them because it's easy. Like i stated before, YOUR a good author, you really are but people do disagree. -DIG

Mk. 1.- It's called being descriptive. Good authors happen to do that. 2.Your horse and your dog know when you're scared, and as no one quite knows how far along that sense goes...shut up. You don't know. 3.I repeat, being descriptive gets you places. 4.What's the point of the fic then? "Daily life of so-and-so? Or should they just make a bunch of these kind of LISTS, like you have here? 5. I've read a lot of fanfictions, and I've never seen a person spend more than one paragraph at a time on his ears. I'm sure you can endure it. 6. This one is actually true...they're monsterizing him to fit the plot, I guess. 7. They never really show his thoughts, and besides..."censoring". Besides, that'd be kind of creepy if they did actually slip that in there... 8. This observation is true, too...a lot of people over-do this, just to make it "funny". Eh... 9.This is true. Some people REALLY over do it, sometimes when they don't even know what it truly means...>.<
10. Shippou is annoying. >____<
11. True, too. Used to add "fluffiness"...uggh... 12.True. 13.There really isn't any definate black and white on "bad guy good guy" characters. He dispises his brother, and supposedly humans...yet he saved and cares for Rin. While I think Kag/Sess's are COMPLETELY out of the question, I think he does a few good things in the manga, at least. (Manga > anime) 14. Indeed, but it took Kagome a good long time to realize that. "Omg feel my angst!" 15. Kagome sits Inuyasha multiple times in the first movie when Inuyasha offends her cooking in favor of ramen...he's buried in the ground by the time she's done. XD This isn't really a flame, just a disagreement. And please don't accuse me of being cowardly for not leaving a name, but you see, I do not have an account. ^^;;;

You're reasoning on what makes Sess a bad guy is so black and white. Sess really isn't a bad guy. That's what Naruku is for. It seems that you define him as bad just because he isn't a loving brother. That doesn't make him bad. That just makes him a member of a dysfunctional family. The reason I like the character of Sess so much is because he is not simply presented as a fully developed character. We get to see how he develops into what he is, and what he may one day become. Just the fact that he has Rin really does say ALOT, since it was stated in the series itself that he could not use his sword to resurrect unless he had "compassion for humans". And yet he was able to resurrect Rin. How exactly do you think he managed to accomplish that? Sure, he has done a lot of bad things. Is this what forces you defination of "Sess is a bad guy"? Because, again, you are failing to take the evolvation of his character into account. You don't consider Kouga to be bad, and yet in the episode he was introduced he allowed (instructed even) his pack of wolves to kill and eat a whole village of innocent people. (Remember, that's how Rin got where she was in the first place.) Well, that's a really bad thing to do. So, we are disregarding the evil deeds that Kouga has commited in the past, but Sess must be punished for his? Maybe it was just a matter of intent. Sess intended to kill for pleasure, but Kouga's tribe was just hungry? Well damn, how do you know that? Or is it that Kouga can be reformed into a morally acceptable character, but Sess is not capable of this? (Gee, can you guess that I don't like Kouga too much. But that's not really the point.)

I think you forgot one, the new moon, many fan fics that I have read says that the moon is full and Inuyasha is human. NO, NO he is not human durning the full moon. Also I can't in good faith agree with you that Sesshoumaru (for give me if that spelled wrong) is bad, I mean stick me and my sister in a room together along enough and we'll start going after each other necks, this doesn't mean my sister is bad, just really really agravting, ingoring, and spoiled... much like Sess. I just can't classify him as being bad, because with bad comes, in my mind, evil and Sess isn't all that evil. So yeah anyway that my two cents on Sessy. But any way not a bad little list, and I'll try to reframe for doing these thing in the furture, key word 'try'. Later.

Amen to those! And if you don't mind, I'd like to include a few of my own, #16-20, for all the would-be hentai writers out there! -16- Yesyesyesohhellyes! Whomever the male character is, he's always stupendously well-endowed ... Gargantuan .... Possessing a pelvic eruption worthy of Naraku's creation ... Umm, don't you think, with all those battle hormones just a pumpin' 24/7, that somewhere, something's gotta give? -17- Women, fictional or otherwise, do not say the following: "OOOOhhh, it's so biiiiig!" or "Do you really think it'll fit inside me?" Maybe a man would????... nah .... -18- Yes, Kagome's a VIRGIN, we all know she's a VIRGIN, being a VIRGIN is integral to her character (and since she's only 15, you'd HOPE!), but seriously, she probably broke her own hymen a long time ago with a (gasp!)TAMPON! Supermarket Bodice Ripper 'Romance' novels have done this little ditty to death! Enough already! It doesn't hurt THAT much! -19- No one ... absolutely NO ONE (male/female/demon)... enjoys being raped and/or brutalized. There are better ways of treating intercourse as an ultimate power struggle. Anyone who writes that kind of garbage should include follow-up chapters on that character's many years of therapy/treatment for PTSD and related trauma. Really. Seriously. No exceptions. Some lines you just don't cross. Even a writer like Brett Easton Ellis understands this. -20- Finally, a scene in which 2 characters make the humpity-beastie is just that: a scene. It's not a story. It's not even an imaginative idea for a story. Don't believe me? Read Hustler or Penthouse! Your horny self will be bored silly in no time! Just food for thought: I think you might want to reconsider Sesshoumaru as a "bad guy." True bad guys don't grow, don't change ... it's a Tao=Death kind of development. Works in action movies, but I'm hopin' it's not the case here! Great list!

Okay, I understand some of these things may be insulting to some authors, but honestly, it's not that big of a deal. If it hurts your feelings then don't read it. Like "Totally Wrong" said, it's HER fanfiction. She can write anything she wants and you can choose wether you'll read it or not. She has a clear summery so there really shouldn't be any misunderstandings about the content. Yes, fanfiction writers over exaggerate a lot, and it gets annoying, especially when you see the same cliches in the same plot in 1000 different fanfictions (Inu-yasha admits to Kagome that he loves her, Kagome gets pregnant, etc etc). Yes, it is annoying to read Japanese words, phrases or entire sentences when you're not from Japan and you have to stop in the middle of the story to scroll down to the end to read the translation then find your place in the story only to see another Japanese word, phrase or sentence. Yes, reading about purring dog-demons is annoying because dogs can't purr, people can't purr, thus super dog + human CAN NOT PURR, not to mention that not once throughout the entire series he he purrs. I just don't see why everyones getting insulted over such a petty issue.

1) Sesshoumaru is NOT a bad guy! Look at his relationship w/ Rin! 2)That last part took me a minute, but when i thought about it. . .YOUR RIGHT! Also if you think about it, Kagome/Inuyasha etc. have beaten Naraku. Because, Kagome lives in the future, and is the world in chaos? Is Naraku anywhere to be seen? You could think that Kagome is gradually changing the future w/ each visite to the past, but when thought LONG AND HARD about it.....you may(in my mind anyway^_^) realize that it is the FUTURE so obviously it already knows what will happen, and the future that kagome lives in is a product of what she has yet to do. Im sorry, that probubly made no sence >_

You know, this isn't what is considered to be funny. I know that fanfiction writers tend to exaggerate, but this is way too much. And you know what? IT'S THEIR FANFICTION. they could do whatever hell they want to do with it. So, unless you are completely sure and you have completed the series, Which i doubt you did, you shouldn't be writing this kind of stuff. About the dog-purring thing, maybe dog-demons CAN purr...are you a demon? I seriously don't think so.

actually, you idiot, sesshomaru becomes good and teams up with inu later in the series. Fangirls exaggerate alot on inu's ears alot simply becuase they are fangirls. Miroku has groped sango many times when both of them know miroku is quite wide awake. I can make a statement to condradict every one of yours, if needed, but i simply needn;t waste my life on idiots who don';t know shit about inuyasha. Lemme guess, you a naraku fangirl>? cuz you sure seem to hate sessho and inu and miroku..

Are you sure that this really qualitfies as humor, or even a story? It really didn't sound like you were trying to be funny, but more like you were just making a list of the common Inuyasha fanfiction cliches that irritate you most. And although some are pretty true (like the one about Sesshoumaru, lol) a lot of them would probably be considered 'fanfiction cannon'. You know, things that really aren't true in the series, yet they are commonly accepted in fanfiction. Like 'mates' and other odd things. They might not be true, but they are, in a way, what makes fanfiction it's own unique form of the series. ^_^
