Saying things about a person who later ended up dying approaches People Sit In Chairs, unless you expect authors to be immortal.

Added DiffLines:
* AccidentalAesop: Limyaael suggests "morals" for books she had read that contain BuryYourGays, such as "Damn, love someone of your own gender and you are ''screwed''" or "Well, love someone of your own gender, and your partner will die. But don’t worry, we’ll get you another one!"
* AngstDissonance: Limyaael thinks characters who complain about things without actually acting to change them often cause this.
* DesignatedEvil: Limyaael talks about how, too often, authors will treat character traits like selfishness, cynicism, seeking vengeance or doing the wrong thing when they couldn't have possibly known it was wrong as crimes that have to be redeemed, leading to the characters getting a contrived redemption that gives them a fake personality.
* DesignatedHero: How Limyaael thinks of [[TheEmpire empires]] who are portrayed as good even when they are conquering other places.
* DesignatedVillain: How Limyaael thinks of characters who want money from the hero, say, to pay a debt - especially when they clearly need the money themselves and they have been unusually compassionate and patient towards the hero but eventually could not wait any longer.

Added DiffLines:
* LemonStu: Limyaael hates when characters' virtue and perfection of their relationship is shown by the character's true love or lover of the right gender having perfect sexual performance.
* {{Sequelitis}}: Why Limyaael warns writers to not give into the temptation to write sequels to novels they intended as stand-alone.
* SlowPacedBeginning: Limyaael doesn't like this trope, comparing it unfavorably with ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' where a lot happens in the first 200 pages.

-->I prefer strong female characters anyway, by which I mean “female characters who have their own minds and do not spend the whole time obsessed with men, either pining for them or putting them down.” They don’t have to be warriors for me to empathize with them. They can certainly be mothers who love their children fiercely. The most important relationships in their lives can certainly be with men.
