Feeling just a little bitchy...

Okay, if you have to have 'HANKY ALERT' (yes, it was in capital letters) written on your fic, then please go away now. Seriously, the authors who have written fics that have actually made me cry are the ones that have done it subtly and didn't feel the need to write 'omg! you're soooooooooo going to cry if you read this!!1!eleventyone!'. And maybe I'm wrong (hey, it's been known to happen ;), but the only thing a 'hanky alert' serves to tell me is that the author has watched Titanic a few too many times and is going for over-the-top emo!angst fic. Which doesn't make me cry, as opposed to, well, roll my eyes and move onto the next one.
