Out of my fandoms, Bleach has been hit by a plague of Mary-Sues especially hard. I really wish there was an option to filter out OCs.

filtering things out would be amazing. too bad their servers probably won't ever be able to handle it :(

Lol, my fandoms have always been this way. Soon all the complaining about the 'golden age' of Ao3 will happen and that'll be just as annoying as the OC fics.

I ... don't really agree at all. I've ALWAYS seen the same types of stories I hate on AO3 - now of course that could just be me being extra fussy about what I consider good quality fic. Or maybe it was the types of fandoms I enjoyed which seem to produce more of the types of fic I hate (namely the over the top poor abused woobie bullshit I see everywhere).

Maybe some people DO want to read those? (I haven't seen any in my fandoms, tbh, so I don't really know what to go on)

You not wanting to read something =/= everyone not wanting to read something

Ahahah I feel awful for agreeing but I do. I dooooo.

That being said, my version of awful and boring might be someone elses funtastic awesomepants and vice versa.

I just wish there was some rule where you had to choose either ff.net or ao3 - not both. Because of reasons.

. . .Why don't you just use tags to filter your searches then? It's not that difficult to weed out stuff you don't want to read on AO3.

Also, seriously, you aren't owed 'good fic' by fic writers, and whatever fic they post wherever they want is their business, not yours. Fic is basically free entertainment written out of love for a source material; it's not something you pay for, it's not a 'right' you have for being in a fandom, and it shouldn't be an elitist thing. If you don't like it, don't read it.

I really don't like it when people become all entitled about fic. Fuck you, I'll post all the shitty RP OC stories I want.

THISSSS

Consider yourself lucky. My fandom's section of AO3 has been plagued with bad fics since the very first time I saw it.

Oh for fucks sake. AO3 elitists should get off their goddamn high horses and quit whining about how the badfic writers are invading. The only reason AO3 used to have mostly good fic is because there was barely anyone on it. That's why FF.net has such a bad reputation; it has thousands of users, and more people means more crap drowning out the good stuff.

Don't like don't read. I'm pretty sure there are people out there who enjoy the fic you hate.

If you want a site where only fic approved by you will be posted then make one.

Ookay, then. Nice to know someone has finally been appointed Queen (or King--whatevs)of the Quality Control Committee for fandom.

AO3 has tons of stuff I don't like too, including poorly-written, OoC fic (see 95% of all Alpha/Beta/Omega type fic, and that's all over my fandoms right now.), but that's what the scroll button is for. Unless someone is actively begging you to read their godawful fic, they're hardly shoving it in your face now, are they?

You read them. Nobody to blame but yourself really.

Cultivate a love of laughing at shit (or writing it! NOT A WORD ANONYMOUSLYYOURS) and you'll always be happy!

Get over yourself. People posting their fic are hardly shoving it in your face.

I don't know, anon - sometimes Mary Sues and hilariously awful RP OCs are good for the best laughs.

Not in your face, anon. It's not like anyone is shoving fic up your nose and saying "breathe it in, damn it, or face the consequences!" You don't have to keep reading once you realize it's not something that's enjoyable to you.

Oh my god.

Are they forcing you at gun point to read it?

QQ moar.

I've gotta admit buddy, you lost me at the rage faces, but that's a personal pet peeve of mine I'll try not to be a dick about.

Still the AO3 tagging system is easy to use to filter it down to what you DO want to read. It's not like FF.net where you can only narrow it down to rating, genre, two character and a word count and hope for the best.
