Fan Fic Reading Peeves
A lot of people enjoyed my previous article about Fan Fic Review Peeves, so I decided to write another article about my personal pet peeves when it comes to reading fan fiction in general. Once again, let me reinstate that this is not a personal attack on anybody and that you shouldn't feel bad if you are guilty of any of these. To be perfectly honest, I probably did a few of these myself in my early days of writing fan fiction. So without further ado, let's get down to my ten pet peeves when it comes to reading fan fiction.

The last novel I read was The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton. This novel is set in the eighteenth century and follows the life of Nella Oortman and her marriage to Johannes Brandt. Johannes gives Nella an extravagant wedding gift of a cabinet house, the exact miniature replica of the house that they live in. The novel details the process of Nella furnishing the house by enrolling the services of the Miniaturist. As the house reveals secrets about their lives, Nella realises the unusual qualities of the Miniaturist and unfolds the dangers that are awaiting the family.

Jason Isbell doesn’t care about the Country Music Association. He tweeted as much when pestered online back in June as to why he wasn’t appearing at CMA fest: “Sorry guys I won’t be playing any CMA fest gigs. The reason is I did not want to do that.” He cares even less for mainstream country music, going as far as saying this past July in Rolling Stone: “Most of that is just really bad music to me.” That's what made his nomination for CMA album of the year, announced September 4th, a stunner of sorts for independent artists, sending shockwaves down Music Row. Isbell has, on his own terms, become one of the most universally acclaimed songwriters of his generation. Never shy to share his thoughts, he never misses a chance to make it known he has little in common with today’s country music–other than the fact that they both call Nashville home. His album, The Nashville Sound, is one of the years most celebrated for its powerful and progressive lyrics on difficult subjects like gender inequality, mortality, race, and, of course, Trump.
