* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Mervin and Hyde's "dead herrings" are this--instances in which an author will try to throw out a RedHerring by having the characters, often completely unprompted, strongly insist that a certain thing won't happen, but the specificity and intensity of these denials just makes it very obvious that thing is ''exactly'' what's going to happen. Eg, Bella's repeated insistence at the beginning of ''New Moon'' that Edward will certainly not be leaving her behind in Forks when the Cullens move, he's definitely including her when he says "we"/"us", she'll be gone any day now and definitely not staying in Forks much longer so she better take all these pictures to remember, etc, pretty much ruins any surprise in the reveal that Edward is in fact leaving her behind.



* WorstAid: Pointed out in Chapter 9 of ''Ganondorf in my Crawlspace'' when Annie is giving CPR to Ilia, who is ''still breathing''.

Pointed out in Chapter 9 of ''Ganondorf in my Crawlspace'' when Annie is giving CPR to Ilia, who is ''still breathing''.
** Mervin criticizes the Cullens' idea of medical aid, from sewing up a slashed brachial artery in the kitchen with unsterilized tools to, later, simply bridal-carrying a very ill and fragile Bella around instead of using a stretcher or simply keeping her stationary in their new home clinic (which, while still not as good as a hospital, is still ''much'' safer than moving someone so critically sick). Mervin and Mrs. Hyde are also not amused with how often Carlisle discusses Bella's care with Edward, rather than the patient herself, particularly when it comes to [[spoiler: her pregnancy. Carlisle only tells Edward how lethal the pregnancy could be, and, even worse, only tells ''Edward'' that the safest course is to terminate--Bella only finds this out because she forces Edward to tell her.]] The sporkers point out it really seems like they weren't planning to tell Bella about this major surgery she'd be undergoing until she was actually on the operating table.

* {{Spinoff}}: In addition to the fic comm, Das_Sporking gave rise to Anti_bella, a Website/LiveJournal comm that focuses on finding well-written female characters of every stripe and analyzing why these characters work well/are awesome. (On occasion, "anti-Edwards"--well-written male characters--have also been highlighted.)

How does somebody either remove or delete the "This example contains a YMMV" image on a page? Because sometimes it blocks words from being seen.

It is also notable for being in depth. Most sporkings double the word count of the fanfics they are focusing on. A number of UnfortunateImplications that are glossed over in other sporkings of the same material, in particular ''{{Literature/Twilight}}'' (and its sequels) and ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' (and ''its'' sequels), are explored in detail there.
