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

Sadly, yes, some people do. :( I imagine their train of thought goes like, "Man, these little SQUARE parentheses are so cute and add such an air of individuality to the text! They're not all boring like regular ones! I wonder why everyone doesn't use them more?"
