turnonmyheelsJFC VAMPIRE DIARIES FANDOM.
GET YOUR VAMPIRE PHYSIOLOGY STRAIGHT.
IN TVD UNIVERSE VAMPIRES HAVE A HEART BEAT! AND BODY TEMPERATURE!
IN FACT ACCORDING TO DAMON: AS LONG AS I EAT A HEALTHY DIET MY BODY FUNCTIONS JUST LIKE YOURS. Season 1
ACCORDING TO CAROLINE: EATING REAL FOOD HELPS WITH THE CRAVINGS. Season 2
ACCORDING TO STEFAN: ALCOHOL AND CAFFEINE KEEP THE CRAVINGS LOW AS WELL. Season 1
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO MAKE THIS RANT?
Perhaps I should uncapslock it and post it to a community?
I seriously can't read fics where the physiology is incorrect, that's like expecting Spock to bleed red, yo. It ain't gonna happen.
In your fandom, what do fic writers do to canon that makes you insane?

Date: 2012-02-21 02:31 pm (UTC)Just generally Not bothering to pay attention to canon is one of the most annoying things fanfic can do. I'm ok, even, if people come up with handwavey reasons why something has changed in their fic, but just not paying attention? Lazy!

Date: 2012-02-21 02:37 pm (UTC)I'm such a canon stickler *anyway* that when something like this pops up, I think to myself:
how can this writer effectively write the characters if they don't even know how the universe works?
and I realize that's a bit precious and all, BUT!

Date: 2012-02-21 02:40 pm (UTC)It's lazy. It's being ignorant of canon or at the very least a flagrant disregard for canon. Why bother with a particular Vampire fandom if you're not going to write it correctly?
My panties are in a bunch this morning, can you tell?
Also: I totally want to read about hybrid pregnancy fic now. TOTALLY.

Date: 2012-02-21 03:12 pm (UTC)There are a lot of differences with the vampires in tVD. The bodily functions are one and the other that is most interesting to me is that they can't sense other vampires. People get that wrong all the time too and it makes me want to tear out my hair.
Much like when someone in SoA gives certain characters the back piece when they clearly don't have it. Points to Juice

Date: 2012-02-22 08:28 pm (UTC)I pointed out the errors complete with links and logic. For me the book was very problematic in other ways, but it's not my job to comment on why I don't like the characters.
