Re: 121 OP

[(Anonymous)]

I love it when people explore characters, I bet there are/could be some really good redemptive Sylar fics out there! I think there's a difference between Sylar being portrayed in a sympathetic manner and someone blatantly ignoring everything about the character. I guess it's like PWPs, except these are fluff without plot. No explanation for why Sylar has had this miraculous change of heart.

http://poetess-noire.livejournal.com/16687.html <- Apart from a reference to 'the company' you could change all these characters names around and it wouldn't make any difference. I guess it's fanfiction because they have the same names as the guys on Heroes, but who would know otherwise?

Honestly, I understand why you wouldn't want to assume things about the writer. I'd just say, even if someone does have a reason for writing those kinds of fic other than a crush on ZQ (which fair enough, you're right, there probably are lots of reasons), it's still badfic. And yeah, that's not the end of the world, of course! But hey, it's fandom!secrets, where fictional characters save people's lives on a regular basis. ;)

I think our discussion is at cross purposes. I'm pointing out that "You're only doing it because [insert actor here] is HOT" is probably only one of many reasons for these fics, and you're... Well, you appear to be saying "But it's badfic!" as if that's evidence that the author definitely writes it OOC because they think ZQ is hot, and couldn't possibly be because they think Sylar would be happier if he wasn't a killer.

And I strongly dislike name-and-shame tactics on public boards (whether they are deserved or not, I don't know), so I think I'm going to refrain from further discussion on this thread.

Re: 121 OP

Fair enough, I didn't understand that was the point you were trying to make. I don't disagree with you on that.

(And I'm sorry it looked like name-and-shame. I guess there's no way I could have given you an example of the type of fic I'm talking about without it coming across as mean. But since we were talking at cross purposes it was unnecessary anyway.)

Re: 121 OP

If you do want a way to offer an example without publicly posting links, my method is to ask if it's okay to PM the information. That way the example is shared without offering a target to any passing trolls.

I know it's unnecessary in this case, I just thought I'd throw the suggestion out in case you find yourself in this position again - and don't want to name and shame.
