This is often the case if they are in-text Author's Notes, like this: 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 or her ears. Agents have even been known to pass out entirely. Particularly bad Author's Notes have sometimes become physical disruptions within badfics, which can lead to some... unfortunate situations if an agents is caught unawares. Additionally, it isn't unheard of for Author's Notes featuring character interviews (usually conducted by the author) to materialize as really cheesy puppet shows. If an author's note is properly differentiated from the text, it is more difficult for agents to read than normal Words.
