Dear Badfic Writers,

Brackets ({}) and square brackets ([]) have their own purposes. They are not just a pair of parentheses dressed up in their own very special and unique snowflake outfits for when you are writing a story and it doesn't seem special enough with plain punctuation.

Thanks for your attention to this matter,
cim

this entry caused me to look up brackets on wikipedia. there is an entry! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brackets#Types_of_brackets) oh wikipedia. you are flawed, and yet, so excellent. ♥

I was astonished that the usual proofreading use of curly brackets wasn't mentioned...
