Urgh...

This is not the photo post from my USA trip, this is a pointless whiny post. ^_^;

Why is it that 99% of the fanfic written about manga/anime is utter crap? I was just trying to find something to read in the Bleach fandom but I had to stop just after reading some of the "summery's" people came up with. I know I really shouldn't pass judgement because I know I've written my share of crappy fanfic but still! I want fic that wont make my brains bleed...

Edited my Star Trek bookmarks on delicious and man that was too much work. I wish I had just done it properly when I started the account...

Also, I'm covered in mosquito bites, damn you Finnish summer. *shakes fist*

Your fic wasn't crappy. =)

It really kind of was. I think the stories would have been decent if I had had a more nitpick-y beta... But thanks for saying that anyway! *hug*

btw, what was Natalie's lj name? Or do you think she'd rather not have me as a lj buddy?

[damselfly27.livejournal.com]

I still think that "Undercover Love" was fantastic. *hugs back*

Natalie's lj name is plinkin. She said that she'd be glad to have you as a friend. She just doesn't post much.

Aw, thank you so much for saying that! I rather liked the story too. =)

Hee~ cool, added. I don't mind the not posting much, I just like adding people that I have actually met, because that is so rare for me. \0/

I've been wondering the same thing. Or rather, are the european/american fandoms really this much better or is there some other reason why it seems so... Either I read crap while in anime fandoms or I only find the good ones in other fandoms due to learning to use recs.. Dunno.

I fail at using delicious in a logical way ;_; I'm not really looking forward to trying to find something in there...

I think it's just a matter of age. A lot of people start out in anime/manga fandoms and it shows. I can't think of any other reason why there is such an obvious gap in talent.

Haha~ I already have the same problem. I should make more tags for genre and stuff like that but waah~ too lazy...

True, true. There are good fics in those fandoms too but it really takes some time to find them... And I kind of include HP-fandom in this. But in that one it really differs. Some are purely amazing and well written and there are a lot of them, on the other hand it has quite as much crap as anime fandoms do...

I keep forgetting to add all the tags that apply! And I have like falloutboy AND fob tags which is just unnessesary....
