Snark incoming.

Possibly one of the most useful features of a sci-fi/fantasy fandom: it's really easy to weed out fics you don't want to read, just by checking to see which ones can't spell the fandom-specific made-up words correctly. Kismesitude? Paidi Aiji? Valdemarian? NOPE, sorry, no +1 hit count for you!

(Also useful in these fandoms: excluding "human AU" from your search results; but that's another rant for a different day.)

I think this is generally applicable across any fandom. I mean, if you can't even spell "masturbate" properly, that does not bode well for your smutfic.

Excluding "human AU" seconded!

Unfortunately the last one is only good if they actually tag things. :(

(Due to my frustration at HOW MANY DIFFERENT TERMS TO I HAVE TO - TO MAKE YOU STOP SHOWING UP ARG)
