It's weird that I actually wanted to do a similar post like that too. So I just dump my complaints here:
* Writing angst doesn't mean you have to throw every physical and psychological pain available on this planet at the character. It's not a shopping list.
* Letting the second character declare his love out of the blue without prior indication that those two have even looked at each other like that while the first character is still struggling with a coma resulted by all the aforementioned shopping list trauma only hurts your audience. It's not called Hurt/Comfort for that.
* Has anyone ever told you that you CAN'T WRITE??? How anyone would publish you is beyond me.
* Also: if you have the need to write slave fic, kindly get your history straight before you do? Reading slave fic in modern USA as if it's the most natural thing just leaves a sore taste in your mouth considering the past.
For the record: none of this is related to HP fandom (though I'm sure it could be if I search hard enough...)

* Just because you can doesn't mean you HAVE TO fulfill every cliché available. Again, it's not a friggin' shopping list!
