111.) Amen. But you know, there are good 'fics on FF.net. You just have to find the right fandom and the right authors. I have mixed feelings about your post, though. A part of me says, you know, wow! And the other part of me says, wow, what a self-centered person. =( You're probably a perfectly nice person, but please don't think that your 'fics are good and everyone else's suck. I've been posting to FFN since 2002, and sure, my old 'fics suck. But everyone starts somewhere. My 'fics aren't the greatest, but I know they don't "suck". So who's to say that just because you post your 'fic, people will realize there can be good 'fics on FF.net? I don't know, it sounds terribly egotistical to me. I don't post on FFN so that there will be "good" or "bad" 'fics on there. I post there because I like the system and the way stories are archived. It's easy to find my way around and for other people to find my work. I don't post my 'fics in my journal. Just on FFN. So if you're planning to post to FFN, please do it because of more reasons than trying to prove you're better than everyone else in your fandom. It's kind of rude and it makes you look like a bad person, even if you're not.
119.) I wish I knew you. I'm the same exact way, and I recently went out and bought Anne on DVD. I've had the VHS tapes so long, you see. I thought it was high time to have it on DVD! Their love is absolutely amazing, and the story never gets old for me. I love both Anne and Gilbert. I would love to find a Gilbert in the real world. =]
122.) I love Drew Barrymore because of that movie. Ever After is amazing, and she was more beautiful in that movie than she is now. I loved her just as she was, then. Not only is she an amazing actress, but IMHO, beautiful inside and out.
156.) I've never lied about my age, but I'll admit that I sometimes struggle with listening to people that are much younger than me. I can't help it. I work with people so much older than me that I feel like I'm in my mid to late 30s, and it makes it hard for me to talk to people younger than I am. But even though I've mostly gotten over that, I still struggle with relating to them. That makes it hard.
163.) The Brave Little Toaster made me cry. If I watched it now? I'd probably still cry. I feel bad for throwing out appliances, and it reminds me of the Ikea lamp commercial.
176.) Honey, do yourself a favor. Don't rush headlong into a fandom when you know you end up getting bored so easily in the hopes that that dive will...I don't know, make you popular? It's not a good idea. It's not the lack of "Oh my God! Keep going, I can't wait for an update!" comments that makes you lose steam. Stop fooling yourself. If you want to write a series, the best thing you can do is go around, read 'fics by other people, REVIEW THEM (NOTE THE CAPS LOCKED LETTERS THERE PLEASE), and while doing so, plan a series. In fact, start with a one-shot or two, and then determine if you're still into the fandom enough to write a longer story. And plan ahead. And review other people's works. You know, I'm not saying they or you or anyone deserves reviews, but that is always the best way to hope for some in return. How could you expect other people to care about your work if you don't care about theirs?
Last but not least... It's fandom. While most of us would love to be renowned fans/writers/etc, it won't happen for everyone. Even people who dedicate years to one fandom sometimes end up forgotten about.
And yes, it hurts that people don't seem to care. But jumping headlong into a fandom by writing a series isn't the best way to go about it. Get known in the fandom by reading other people's work, commenting on their art, et cetera, and then when you begin your story, you'll have people who are actually interested in seeing what you can do.
I've been in fandoms for long periods of time, and I am ALWAYS skeptical of a new writer. I know it's bad of me, but I'm always afraid to see what kind of horrible mistake this new writer might make with my favorite characters.
(None of this was meant to offend anyone...)
