Author's Notes

The Author's Notes (ANs) often take up the head and feet of a fanfic, either for every chapter, or for the whole of the story.

They commonly include a disclaimer, comments related to the fic, feedback to reviews, and occasionally excuses.

Especially irritating Author's Notes may be counted as a charge. This is often the case if they are in-text Author's Notes, like this:

''And then Legolas said, "Oh yes, you're so beautiful." Then he kissed her. (AN-Orli is so hot!!!) ''
