no one wants to see a lumberjack dance the cooch

Pet peeve time!

1) If you do not run your fic by a beta, please do not announce it in your author's note. What's the point? I can't imagine it's going to get you any readers.

2) PHASE vs. FAZE, omg. You go through a phase. You may be fazed by it. I see this mistake so often I almost started to doubt myself.

3) Criminal Minds, you're already on my bad side for what you're doing to JJ and Prentiss. Can you at least throw me a bone and make Garcia's lipstick a little less garish? I'm trying to find something to be pleased with, but you're really making me work for it.

4) Glee, Jacob Ben Israel is expendable and don't you forget it.

5) Inception, it really kind of irks me that every main character except Yusuf gets one of those big nifty mosaic-framed promo shots. Or if he did get one, I've certainly never seen it. Chubby brown guys need to get repped, too.

...hi, I'm a little cranky. I think I'll go finish S1 of Carnivale.

I know, what's with them not giving Yusuf a character promo shot? *is grumpy about it too*

I'm tempted to write Yusuf Does Everyone fic. Because having very-possibly-terrible porn written about an under-appreciated character is so totally going to make TPTB see the error of their ways. IT ARE FACT.

...or maybe Dileep was just out sick the day everyone else got their glamor shots taken. Idk.

Hee, I would totally read Yusuf Does Everyone fic!

I did see a fan-created promo shot of Yusuf on tumblr that was pretty awesome, but now I don't remember where to find it. *starts searching through my bookmarks*

He's a chemist! All he needs to do is spike the coffeepot with an aphrodisiac and set up a camcorder. He's friends with Eames, which means he's got to be a little more devious than he appears. (Omfg, aaaand I think it's time for me to sleep because now I'm picturing the two of them as Kuzco and Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove. "This isn't Somnacin! This is extract. of. LLAMA!")

As great as it is that something like that exists, it shouldn't fall to the fans to make up for the director's/producer's/publicity team's failings. *shakes fists*
