    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Or each time you roll you get a new power and lose the old one. Kind of like Sleeper from the Wild Cards series, who would get a new form and new powers every time he slept.

    Alea Iacta Est - a Worm AU Fanfic

    From the sound of things it's the latter. He's traumatized by Uber's death, knows he's screwed personally thanks to having the Butchers in his head, and suffering from longstanding self esteem issues and resentment over both his Tinker issues and how little respect he gets. So I think his...

    All Alone [Worm AU]

    She "turns it off" by draining them completely; the only way she could keep the connection off would be if she stayed right there and kept draining them. Doable if it's a matter of her escorting somebody to a special cell (or the Birdcage), but she obviously doesn't want to spend the rest of her...

    The Slippery Slope [Worm AU]

    It's not just power and influence; she's been showing him up. She even outright compared him unfavorably to himself before the last Lung fight. So far she's killed Oni Lee, Lung and Coil, while Hookwolf has killed...Stormtiger, by insisting on a face-to-face with Coil despite Remote warning him...

    All Alone [Worm AU]

    Sooo; he built a device that lets his Shard talk to him? Interesting. It either isn't as mad at him as it was by canon, or thinks that the "quite unpleasant" process of having his powers reset is good enough.

    The Slippery Slope [Worm AU]

    Yeah; "base self destructs" are common enough in fiction, but there's a reason you don't see them in real life. Real life self destructs are typically things like small bombs on classified electronics, or anti-defusing devices on bombs. Wiring up a whole base to explode is just asking for...

    Only the time I played Far Cry 4 right after playing a lot of Dishonored. Turns out that the "open action wheel" button in Dishonored is the same as the "grenade" button in FC4, so muscle memory meant that I ended up randomly throwing grenades a lot. It felt like my character had some weird...

    "Demon" is just a word, there's quite a few works that use it differently than the classic "evil monster". Heck, in Robert Asprin's Myth Adventures series it's literally just short for "dimensional traveler" and says nothing about what they are like.

    Not quite the same thing, but I'm reminded of how in the Wiz Biz novels the protagonist Wiz Zumwalt asked a senior wizard why he'd never had dealings with elves like Zumwalt had. And the answer was "Because I would never do something so insanely dangerous." "Because it's really stupid and you...

    The writers I expect want it to be recognized as "evil". If it's subtle you'll probably have large number of people either missing it or supporting it.

    Anonymous star based rating/score for fics

    Also, dislikes tend to result in people ganging up and mass-downvoting people (or whatever) they don't like for whatever reason. Like with games on Steam, where periodically some group takes a dislike to a game for some-non-game reason (usually something Rule 8 related) and mass downvotes it to...

    Duskers comes close, although it does have FTL. So few sci fi settings with spaceships lack FTL that it's hard to meet that qualification.
