Re: BNFs (again)

From my experience, a BNF writes okay to mediocre fic. As long as the BNF is writing a couple people like at the right time, they're BNFs. The right "time" depends. One BNF (that I've talked about before in an earlier thread) wrote the canon couple around the time a fandom I currently write for was active and got a lot of comments on what otherwise was a fic that kept changing tenses. Some other BNFs are writing the canon couple because a lot of people have left the fandom and whoever's left largely likes this canon couple "happy" and "alive," all while these BNFs have no regard for rules for certain comms, punctuation or spelling. (This is LJ specific, btw.)

On Tumblr, you have to say the right things and post the most atrociously colored gifs and whatnot to become a BNF over there.

tl;dr; If you do the right things at the right time but don't do them particularly well (but you think you do), you're a BNF.

But why is doing things badly a requirement? That's kind of depressing. I would be more likely to believe that actual skill had nothing to do with it.

AYRT

The right time thing seems like a really good point! I definitely think you couldn't have any BNFs of the Cassie-Claire type right now because there's no fandom on the internet big enough and ripe enough for it.

And your summary of tumblr BNFs basically explains why I don't use tumblr. Atrocious gifs indeed.
