Things That Annoy You in Fanfiction

Deworming Sakura isn't too easy though....

I mean killing Zouken physically is easy for a servant, but saving Sakura from the worms isn't.

If they can manage to actually kill Zouken, then deworming Sakura isn't so much of an issue, and can be done later (I'm sure there is a magical healer somewhere who is capable of doing it). Without Zouken, there isn't anyone to control them and, therefore, her.

Also, removing the worms at the time of Zero should be easier, because they've had less time to become intertwined with her body.

Still changed by the worms, hue.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, yeah, but there's not much that can be done about that.

[Kat]

Contacts and dye are a thing.

...y'know, that solution is probably so obvious, we didn't bother to think it for a long time!

[Kat]

Simplest solution often evades attention.

Well, I think it's more that Sakura fans are used to her having purple hair and eyes, and thus see no particular reason to be bothered to change that. The important thing is getting her free of Zouken, her hair and eye colour doesn't really matter.

[Xamusel]

Hrm... that poses a huge problem in and of itself. I mean, yeah, I get that the fans are used to that appearance. However, what happens if someone goes through such elaborate measures to make Sakura look like her normal (before Zouken) self, and everyone thinks that that's how to restore her appearance?

Just food for thought.

[Cherry Lover]

I'm not sure what you mean.

Still, I think actually physically fixing the problem is better than just using contacts and hair dye. Contact lenses have to be put in and taken out, and hair dye needs to be re-applied over and over.

[Xamusel]

Unless you can make the hair dye permanent... but, still, you have a point.

[Kat]

Surely body and physical appearance is most important trait of a waifu.

[Xamusel]

...what are you getting at?

[Cherry Lover]

Surely body and physical appearance is most important trait of a waifu.

Not really, but cosmetic changes hardly matter for her personally.

True dat about the Zero part. However, without the worms in her body for 10 years, she won't have the sad back story that many fans of hers remember her for. They'll say "oh, Sakura would have been amazing if she only had the worms in her body. That way, she would have this totally terrible back story that we can feel sympathy for." Seriously though, what will she do in the 10 years of being free of Zouken? Her father all but gave her away so that she could be the successor of another family. He might just go and do that again, saying "oh, its all for the greater good. Sakura can learn magic from another family and be their ace!" There's a reason why he did that in the first place. If Zouken's place mysteriously vanishes and Sakura comes back, he might think that a wild accident occurred (Grail war) and do the same thing again, hoping it will be more successful.

Posting a different version of the same story, and seperate fic and discussion threads.

That shit just clutters up the forum.
