Susan, those are my peeves as well. I also get tetchy when people use "flare" when they mean "flair."
Don't even get me started on epithets (the tiny slayer, the blond vampire, etc.)
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
And what's with the obsession with full names, first, middle, and last? It's all over fanfic, and I'm starting to see it in unpublished genfic. I can't quite put my finger on why, but it just looks somehow...amateurish to feel compelled to open a story with, "Buffy Anne Summers blah blah blah."

Art Crawl!!!
It's as if they're compelled to reveal the incredible depth of their knowledge of the show by using her full name.

But that just makes me think that it's being narrated by her mom after finding an excessive phone bill or notice from the principal's office about fights at school.

Can people recommend post-eps for "A Human Reaction" (Farscape s1)? Google is giving me no love, and I can't figure out Leviathan's interface; it says there are 64 Farscape fics, but it only shows me the first page.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Betsy, isn't that a great picture?
Check my last 50 LJ entries for the one where I requested S1 fic. Suela put some links in my comments. I think I was requesting it right after I saw A Human Reaction.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
it says there are 64 Farscape fics, but it only shows me the first page.
I think everything should pop up on one page.

I've had the code act wonky with Firefox. It's on my list of things to poke at when I... yeah.
