No topics like this I think... some similiar... but... anyway.

I'm interested, how old are you and what kinds of fanfictions do you read? Do you think it's immature?
OneOfTheseDayz
I somtimes read the ones at fanfictions.net ( i think thats the right url)
pshaa.shauna
NO!




Of course I don't read fanfictions!!!















....

YES I READ FANFIC! lol but I don't see how it is immature. I mean it's like writing stories using adapted characters or plotlines.
Retrogressive
I've actually read a few extremely good fanfictions. Good characterizations et cetera... oh yes and fanfiction.net is horrible.


Hahahaha Shauna... hahaha... shifty.gif

JEEZ! MY BRAIN JUST DIED BECAUSE OF YOUR AVATAR.
(don't you ever change that thing, I shall nor permit you.)

I used to write fanfiction. blush.gif The way I got into writing was by writing Star Wars short stories based on the Young Jedi Knights series of books. My friends and I envisioned ourselves as Jedi Knights and wrote short stories based on our "adventures". It had little literary merit, but it did act as a springboard into "legitimate" writing.
pshaa.shauna
Don't worry I won't.


Ha, I have never written fanfiction, except for this odd harry potter one that made fun of everyone my friends and i worked on...I can't beleive I forgot about! I wonder if I still have it...


Yes, I read a whole lot of Star Wars fanfictions. The books and movies aren't enough, I love Star Wars.

Now, that is something I would seriously read.

Proudly. biggrin.gif I don't see how any type of creative expression (especially writing - even if based on fandom) could be deemed as silly.

Fanfiction.net has some great reads. (I'm guilty of much Batman and Wonder Woman fanfic reading. laugh.gif I can't help it, they're meant to be darnit!)

Not really.. the only sort of thing I read daily are the topics in CB, people's xangas, and MegaTokyo. I love that comic. It's awesome.

http://fanfiction.net Do you post your stories up there? Or am I the only one? laugh.gif
Kathleen
I haven't posted any, but I've read a few. My sister reads a lot of Orgy ones. XD.gif
My Cinderella.
I post my TSL stories there. rolleyes.gif
clarissa
I've read a few stories from there but sometimes it pisses me off. A lot of the characters I read are so Mary-Sue-ish and sometimes the way the characters are written makes me gag 'cause it's so OUT of character, you know? Which is why I'm not so fond of fan fiction, but I have read a few good ones.
soEXCLUSIVE
^ What they said about Mary-Sues. I [used to] write and read fanfiction there too, but stories start to suck if they introduce new characters that seem perfect and get the guy when there's already so many characters that you can just play around with.
My Cinderella.
I never got what Mary-Sue meant. Is it a bad thing?
broken inside
I have one story up

It's when the author puts themself in as a character. Not always bad, but it's a Mary-Sue when they make the character perfect, all-powerful, etc. If there's some hot character in the picture, yeah, they get them too. I tried to make this gender-neutral but I'm pretty sure it's mostly girls (there's a male version but I forgot it =X). So yeah, it's pretty bad. I'm guessing they're pretty predictable too.
My Cinderella.
^ I dislike putting myself into the story, it just kills the whole story if I interfered--if that makes sense.

Sometimes I get review and I don't even know what reviewers say sometimes. This one girl told me she liked how I kept my characters OC.

^ That's good! Give it a few days, let the readers come...shifty.gif Link me?

I've a read a few good stories, but I hate most fanfiction. I should write my own.

AHH! I LOVE FANFICTION.

I used to read it alllll the time at fanfiction.net but then all their posts started getting a little sick.

So I switched over to mugglenet.com and darkmark.com
