I'm not exactly the most critical of fanfic readers - I'm really not. Yeah, if the grammar or spelling is especially atrocious, I'll stop reading, but for the most part, I'm pretty forgiving. However, if you have your main character crush his pelvis and fracture both legs (and even say that it's going to be a long recovery) and then have him walking around with a cane a few weeks later, I feel like I've wasted my time reading all the previous chapters of the story. I should've known to stop earlier with the inconsistencies on technology, medicine, and prices in a period piece. Seriously, if you're not going to do a simple google search, avoid making such references. I mean, it's not 1990 - it's not like you even need to go to a library to be more accurate.

Usually I hear people complaining about how inaccurate portrayals of sexual intercourse are in fanfiction, I wish more of them noticed how hideously inaccurate everything is in a lot of it. (Of course they might be reading stuff without a lot of plot points) But yeah, I agree, I get really annoyed by glaring inaccuracies in my reading material when there's just no reason for them to be there. :\\\

Yeah, there are some really bad scenes out there.
