Limyaael's rants were [[ScheduleSlip scarcely updated]] for a while starting around April 2008. In [[http://www.journalfen.net/users/limyaael/65402.html this post]] she explained the reasons, and the Rants were not updated until she had more free time. They started back up for a little while, then stopped again in May 2010. They have yet to resume as of March 2013.

* HumansAreBastards: Almost any rant about elves, demi-humans, non-humans, etc. will invoke a comparison of the non-human species being in complete and utter harmony with their environment while the humans are hellbent on destroying it.

* DoubleEntendre: This was to be expected in her rant about sex scenes; Limyaael even HangsALampshade on it throughout the post.

* HotSkittyOnWailordAction / ShapeshifterSquick: During her rant about half-human heroes, she says that as much as an author wants to just say "[[BellisariosMaxim don't think about it]]" when asked how the "mechanics" of it work, the author is the one person who '''should''' be putting more thought into it than anyone else.

!!Tropes that have been mentioned or discussed on the side while ranting about any of the above:

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: During her rant about "telcoms", Limyaael wonders how a character can just waltz into a town with a companion wolf/dragon/whatever by their side and ''nobody'' even bats an eye at it, much less try to chase it out of town or kill such a dangerous beast.

* {{Portmanteau}}: For starters, there's "telcoms" (telepathic companions) and "conlangs" (constructed languages).

* {{Animorphism}}: [[http://limyaael.livejournal.com/288509.html shapeshifters]], [[http://limyaael.livejournal.com/290393.html shapeshifter societies]] and [[http://limyaael.livejournal.com/47942.html blurring the distinction between the "human" part and the "animal part"]].

* ShapeShifting: [[http://limyaael.livejournal.com/47942.html there]] [[http://limyaael.livejournal.com/288509.html are a]] [[http://limyaael.livejournal.com/290393.html few]]

!!Tropes Limyaael has ranted about:

* HalfHumanHybrid: [[http://limyaael.livejournal.com/152437.html Half-breed heroes]]. It also tosses a reference to HotSkittyOnWailordAction (point #4, "consider the ''mechanics''"), suggesting that while most authors are inclined to say "[[BellisariosMaxim don't think about it]]", the author of the story is the one person who '''should''' be thinking about it more than anyone else.

!!Tropes used in the rants themselves

* TropesAreNotBad: Limyaael occasionally admits that some concepts are actually quite intriguing and can provide a lot of possibilities for good fiction ... it's just the poor ''execution'' of them by an author that makes them cliché.

* HalfHumanHybrid: [[http://limyaael.livejournal.com/152437.html Half-breed heroes]]. It also tosses a reference to HotSkittyOnWailordAction (point #4, "consider the ''mechanics''"), suggesting that while most authors are inclined to say "[[BellesariosMaxim don't think about it]]", the author of the story is the one person who '''should''' be thinking about it more than anyone else.

* HalfHumanHybrid: [[http://limyaael.livejournal.com/152437.html Half-breed heroes]]

* BerserkButton: Nothing will get Limyaael into rant mode faster than lazy writing.
