I'm apparently one of a dying race. I'm one of those who doesn't like using Japanese phrases in my fics.
Maybe it's because I've been writing in Japanese fandoms since I was...9 years old? DN Angel, Evangelion, I! My! Me! Strawberry Eggs!, Escaflowne, to name a few. I've ventured in Gackt fandom as well.
The honorifics - I couldn't write without them, since it's part of the Japanese culture.
But...if you throw in Japanese words and phrases...damn, write it all in Japanese! I think it's annoying to suddenly have foreign language thrown at me, especially since I almost always have to scroll down to the bottom to find the footnotes and references to figure out what they were saying.
Not only Japanese, but I've come across this in German and French as well. Annoys the crap out of me.
In some cases, I can understand and accept it. But really. I'm all for sticking to one language at a time when writing fics.
Secondly - Damn I'm tired of the "I'm not good enough, my fic sucks, my drawings sucks"-attitude. If you think your work sucks that much, don't post it.
It's so simple. Just. Don't. Post. It. There, tadaaaa, that hard? No, I didn't think so.
I've probably done it myself when I was younger, but now... Ugh, I'm sorry I did.

Oh, rofl, you'd think I'd be a tad nicer when I've slept 20 hours of the last 48 hours, but no, 'nice' does not exist in my vocabulary xD
