Hiccups suck. Eating quickly seems to be a hiccup trigger for me, for whatever that's worth.

I hate animal harm in stories. Really gets to me.

On a more cheerful note, I read a story once that had an OMC (and love-interest for one of the characters) called Roland. I had to do a search-and-replace renaming before I could read the story. (I ended up renaming the OMC 'OMC'.) And after all that it wasn't very good.
