That sucks but hey I'm glad I'm not alone in this. The best emotionally awesome fic always leave me feeling drained and slightly depressed. For me it's usually happy romance or bff stories. Because forever alone.

[kaijinscendre]

It really isn't any different than reading a really emotional book or watching an emotional TV show.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel the same way!

When I read professional (original?) fiction, I don't get this sort of feeling, because the work has ostensibly been through a great deal of editing, and because the writer has ostensibly been through a great deal of training (or at least rejection and refinement). When it comes to fic, though, everyone is supposed to be an amateur (even with beta readers and so on), and so I get extremely self-conscious when I find a fic that is amazingly and genuinely well written.

I'm grateful for excellent fic, of course, but it can also ruin fandom for me for a short while.

[saiika_von_maou]

Heehee. You sound like me.

No worries, though; sometimes you just gotta let the emotions roll through you. :3

[(Anonymous)]

*nods nods* I feel you.

[sootyowl]

I've had that. Reading a good fic is an amazing feeling and then realizing you'll never compare is awfully shitty.

But because I am a sadist and a rec whore, what are these amazing fic you've read OP? (I'll also take recs from the peanut gallery :])

[(Anonymous)]

OMG. So many recs. So many fics that will ruin your self-esteem.

For Sherlock (BBC), read Upon the Removal of a Finish Line (http://archiveofourown.org/works/603607). Fucking thing ruined other fic for me for the better portion of a month. It's goddamn brilliant. After you're done whinging about how much your own writing sucks, read On the Steadfast Approach of an Oncoming Darkness (http://archiveofourown.org/works/567464), because this one does Apocalypse fic better than most professional writers.

If you're into the Avengers, read The Evaluation Process (http://archiveofourown.org/works/447243) if you're into robots learning what cupcakes taste like and if you want to bawl your eyes out. After that read At Rest (http://archiveofourown.org/works/419963), which made me too embarrassed to post my own Lady Loki stuff and wonder quietly to myself what Hiddles would look like in drag.

For Supernatural fans, read Light Up The Sky More For Me (http://starandrea.dreamwidth.org/673194.html?#cutid1), since it's 50,000 words of awesome that's better than most books and will make you weep since you're so fucking inadequate. Then when you're all curled up in a ball too depressed to leave the house, read I am a man of constant sorrow (http://hannibalkink.dreamwidth.org/1375.html?thread=215135#cmt215135), which is an unfinished hannibalkink prompt that is probably better than 90% of what's on your harddrive and will probably never be finished. Ever.

Have fun.

[sootyowl]

Thank you for this ♥ All your recs are in fandoms I participate in you glorious life wrecker.

I can already feel my self-esteem whittling away into nothing by your descriptions. I have my kleenix at hand and am preparing my body to be in a permanent fetal position of self-hatred for days.

Bless you.

[(Anonymous)]

Happy to oblige!

Now we can all wallow in our mutual suck together D:

[(Anonymous)]

Peanut gallery here :)

This one needs you to be familiar with the ending of the game Portal 2, but it IS TOTALLY WORTH IT: Blue Sky (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7434133/1/Blue_Sky)

Best fucking fic I've read in my entire life, and the one that caused in me all the symptoms listed by the OP. (OP, I totally feel you: nothing I'll ever write will ever compare to that perfection).

[sootyowl]

I've never played portal :( Well, I played the demo but that's it. It's a game I've always wanted to play tho. Is it really spoilery?

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, completely spoilery.

You should play both games before reading it to fully appreciate and enjoy it, but on the other hand, the writing is so well done it can be understood with very basic knowledge of canon (to be honest, when people recced it to me, I hadn't played either of the Portal games, and I still was able to understand most of it)

[(Anonymous)]

I think that's just the sign of a good work of fiction. I feel like that after I've finished most books I love. You're sad that it's over, and you want to think about it and bask in how amazing it is for a while because nothing else interests you.
But I don't write fiction, so I can't sympathize with the rest...

[sabotabby]

Yep, I'm the same way.

[(Anonymous)]

Freaking agreed.

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes I read enough mediocre fanfic to feel confident about my own writing, then I read a beautiful AU in which the world is detailed and imaginative and the characters are fleshed out to the point that it seems like it should have been published as original fiction. When that happens I'll just stop writing for a few weeks or months, depending on the amount of gorgeous fanart the fic gets.
