Really can't see what's so funny, but hey, people have loads of different reactions to things.

Oh man, I remember these books! I loved the bodyswap one, though admittedly, I tend to love bodyswap everything. ._.;; They still hold up, then? Maybe I should go and reread them. :|a

Also, even if there isn't a fandom per se, you totally should draw your interpretation of the characters! Book fanart is awesome for precisely that reason. :D

I think part of it is that, because it is so easy to post on ff.net, there are a lot of fics that maybe didn't need to be posted. I mean, I know some of my younger fic that I posted there suck horrible. >_>;

On the flip side, though, I do like ff.net's format better, and I've found some really good fic there, so when people treat ff.net like it's the Worst Place Ever, I have to wonder...

I know it's supposed to be rule 63 and what-not, but I just can't see how Cloud having boobs that big help him in his capacity as a SOLDIER. They just seem like they'd get in the way, and cause back problems...

Because for the longest time, most of the stuff found on FFN was absolute crap? Even my supervisor at work knew it was "The Pit of Voles". Perhaps it's improved, but 95% of the fics I find on there are not well written. I like LJ for fics because of the communities that I follow usually have a better quality of fics. Not saying there isn't crap in those places are well, but the variety and quality is better. *shrugs* FFN has cleaned up a lot, but it's still not where a lot of people post their best works. This is all IMHO, btw.

Maybe because Mayhem's like Ryan O'Reily, but without the threat of genuine danger? (Even though he's the incarnation of "Mayhem" -- he's still fun and hot, as opposed to scary and hot)

[identity profile] hooves.livejournal.com 2012-04-15 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe FFn was referred to as "The Pit" back in the day, (see also: Pit of Voles) because back when people got tired of the bad writing being mixed in with the good, a bunch of the migrated to journal communities like this one (GreatestJournal, JournalFen, et cetera), and then felt they were a better core group of writers overall. This is understandable in part because your average blogger is usually a fairly decent writer-- you don't see the really, really horrible fanfiction being written and posted by the average (regular) blogger.

(Same goes for plot points-- the average blogger wouldn't decide to write an "Lol so-and-so has amnesia~~~~!"/"the characters turn into CHIBIS~~~!!!" plot for a 'fic.)

I know I myself changed the material I wrote and how I wrote it drastically after beginning to blog. Keeping a journal helped me a lot with words-- how to use them, what words get the reaction I want, et cetera and so on.

That said, I still post to FFN (and to LJ as well) but I agree that reading at Fanfiction.net is a lot easier and less stressful than reading here on LJ. I prefer the FFN layout by far.

generally speaking most of the fic i find on ff.net isn't up to my standarts. there's a lot more rubbish on there than i've ever seen on LJ. i'm not saying LJ doesn't have crap as well, but on here i don't have to slough through pages of complete and utter wank to find something i can half-way read.

some time over the last years ff.net has just gained the reputation that everything posted there is crap. so ergo the good writers don't post there anymore. most writers on lj post on ao3 (http://archiveofourown.org) as well which is a fanfic archive the way you like it, so there you go.

And here I was thinking fandom's favourite is AO3, WHOOPS.

I like Rose and I dislike River. However, those facts are completely disconnected. I don't think that Rose is the Doctor's only love ever.

I think that ultimately Rose's journey is a very fulfilling and interesting one, where she learns how to become a better person, that she's meant for more and ultimately is quite interesting. River, on the other hand, decided her job because of a man and I never found her arc that interesting.

Also, I prefer RTD's writing/showrunning over Moffat's, any day.

Wow, back in the days, I remember Hetalia being free-for-all shipping-wise. Sounds like the fandom gets shittier and shittier, sorry to hear that.

Yeah, you keep on with your delusions there. It's not like she's a poorly developed abrasive personality or anything. (Not that I don't like some characters with abrasive personalities, but I don't take it personally when people disagree with me)

In my opinion, LJ has a much better user interface for reading fic. Easier on the eyes, no intrusive ads, formating, organizing, all of that I find easier to navigate and such on LJ than on ff.net. One of the reasons I loathe ff.net is the chapters and lack of one page viewing. People over there tend to post a story with 50 "chapters" that are like 200 words each. It's fucking annoying as all hell. You don't get a lot of that on LJ.

Re: "The Pit" - because back in the day 95% of what was posted on there was utter crap, and there was a lot of it. A pit of despair, a pit of sadness, a pit of unorganized trash.

I don't have trouble finding fics to read and I really don't care where I read them from, but when it comes to posting my own fics I only do it at ff.net. I've figured that by doing that I'll forever be considered either a 13-year old or a really bad writer, but who cares. So far it's the only user friendly fanfiction archive in the whole web, especially because it gives all the writers equal chances of success and exists solely for fanfiction. I don’t have to be an interesting person there to get my fics read, like the trend seems to be in LJ. I don’t have to guess which tags would be suitable, because it’s simple. I can just write, reply to all the feedback I get and easily follow how liked my stories are overall.
