I hate bad fic.
Feel free to ignore, I'm just feeling pissy and bitchy... if you don't like swearing, skip over this entry...
I'm tired of all the bullshit lousy ass fanfics I keep finding.
Alright, I'll admit that some of it I just refuse to read because I don't like the pairing or it's summary just sounds horrible... one of my BIGGEST pet peeves is when the summary for a fic is 'It's better than the summary sounds, I swear!'... why the hell should I trust some random person who can't write a summary when they say the story is good? If it's an author that I KNOW is good, then okay, I'll still take a look... but if the above phrase is accomapnied by 'My First Fanfic!' I run away screaming.
I have issues with RPF/RPS (Real Person Fic/Real Person Slash)... if people like to write and read it6, fine, good for them, but personally I find it slightly creepy since it's real people being written about... especially if it's smutty... but, whatever, some people like it, I don't think fans of it are freaks or crazy or anything, I just find it weird and a little creepy...
I flat out refuse to read certain pairings or fics about certain characters... Ryan/Marissa is something I simply won't read, same with Marissa-Centric stories. I just won't do it.
I'm thinking I should start doing rec posts... like a post per fandom (The OC, GH, X-Men, OTH, etc)... where I cna share what fics I simply love and adore, and at the same time ask for recs from others that are for that fandom... I can alter my layout to have links visible on the sidebar, and have links to each Fandom-Rec Post on there, so people can quickly find them, and I'll update the posts whenever I find something new that I really like... including if a story rec'd to me totally rocks I may add it to my main list (With credit to whoever rec'd it...)
Anyway, rant over, now that I had that idea I'm feeling less bitchy... maybe I'll get to work on that tonight...
