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!!!) ''

Author's Notes, as experienced by Agents inside a fic, tend to be disembodied voices echoing inside one's head. Especially bad Author's Notes can be ear-splittingly loud, and tend to induce a matching splitting headache in anyone unlucky enough not to have covered his ears. Agents have even been known to pass out entirely.
