Lol, really? Its not about them being "not as well written as I'd like" its about the majority of fic on there being utter shite! Its not about having "not the greatest" characterisation or whatever- most of the "characters" I read about may as well have been written into an original fic for the amount they resemble canon characters. Don't even get me started on the purple prose, seme/uke, self insert, healing!cock, woobie!male character, mary sue bs that seems to be a norm there and furthermore the immature entitlement of authors with their "oh I didn't get any reviews so I wont post the next chapter til I do" and the "what should I have happen next in my story, vote for the following options" crap.

I have no issue with people writing for a hobby regardless of skill (I enjoy it myself and do not consider myself good at all) but the issue I have is people put themselves and their writing out their to be judged ("constructive criticism welcome") and then have a fit when anybody gives any kind of suggestion ("omg stop flaming"). Obviously this is not unique to ff.net, but its certainly more common.

I have steered clear of the aptly named Pit for years now, so perhaps things have changed since then, but when comparing lj and ff.net I have to hit the back button considerably less on lj. I will say that the system for finding fics on ff.net is very handy though- being able to sort by character/ship etc.

But there is shitty fic here too! And on adultfanfiction and archiveofourown and AoA and every other fic storage thing ever in existance.

I didn't say there wasn't shitty fic on lj, there is certainly less of it though...or perhaps WAY more of it on ff.net, which is exactly why I prefer lj to ff.net- I don't have to spend hours trawling through shit to find good fic. I understand navigating a new fandom can be hard on lj but once you know where to look its a lot easier to find good fic (or at least average fic) than it is to find bad.
