Annoyed?
Ya me too. Why in the hell do some otherwise enjoyable authors feel the need to to repeat the same information dozens of times in a relatively short span of time? I was reading a reasonable first novel put out by one of the major houses that had a character describe the group of people who did the manual labor in the building he was in, in the exact same way at least a dozen times in three or four chapters. I'm pretty certain that this was done every time they were mentioned. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. I'm not done with the book, or even sure I'll finish it but I didn't pick up any of the authors under-subtle hints that these people would be important to the story.
What a waste of verbiage, time and glaringly jarring.

I do _not_ commit fanfic.
If I did, itd be something _I'd_ enjoy like Storm/Elie Quinn.

Dare you? A double-dog-dare? I'll write one and you write the other.
Pick which, and let's set a time limit. Say: No more than a thousand words, no less than a hundred.
