Obsidian torture you because it's all they had time for now that they couldn't be bothered to finish their product :S [/rant]
"4. "My love."
Unless they were living a hundred years ago, or so... people don't call each other this. Really, they don't. Seriously, this makes me want to giggle every time a character says this."
I must disagree with this; it was used perfectly fine in KotOR where Bastila says it to a male Revan on the Star Forge, it works for the character and gives great conclusion to the scene. I've used it myself in my fic to keep the style, but I do find myself trying to abstrain from it, because I simply hate repeating myself and using the same phrase over and over and over again.
"1. Characters who would be having sex, should have sex."
Agreed, but it's a matter of timing. In my own tiny ficcie there's a time for sex and a time for not having sex. The balance is tricky but it's an issue that needs to be thought on. Personally Im not a big fan of fics where people just jump into bed together unless there's an established relationship, be it lust, love or whatever. It just seems cheap and uninteresing to me.
