One of my biggest pet peeves in fanfiction, that is rather unique to the medium, is when it's pitched as 'what if this major thing happened that should alter the entire plot and/or canon' and then the author seems to go out of their way to keep that thing from interacting with anything outside of very specific and sporadic scenes

#I see this mostly in Stranger Things fanfiction #But it happens everywhere #For anyone curious the final straw was a Steve has powers time travel fic #That so far hasn't done anything but put Steve in worse physical condition than before #Hasn't even changed the dialog and nobody seems concerned about any of the new and unexplained injuries #I understand that fanfiction is and should be a fun and self-indulgent hobby which is why I will not be complaining about this on the fic #But come on #At a certain point you have to wonder why people even bother
