bad fics... and then some.

Dudes.

Have you tried putting up with a semi-bad fic (the one that in the HP fandom would have been murdered brutally even before living up to its first minute of publishing)just because there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING else to read in that fandom, and you're starved to the point of hanging on to every word of that story even if at some - no, several - points you just want to write up to the author and ask, hey, can I edit your fic?

Yeah. Me neither.

Welcome to small fandoms.

Oh, Green Wing.

Too true. Maybe I was too used to such grand fandoms that downshifting is such a shock.

Still. Where art thou quality fics? *whimpers*

Sometimes you just have to write them yourself.

Best advice I've got in weeks. Thanks :D

I do my best to be a genius. ;)

So what are you writing?

Um...we're not into fandoms outside HP, except maybe J/E, hehe. So we haven't really been at the point where we hang on to the author's every word, and usually we just hit the back button when there are one too many typos or if there's an inexcusable error, hehe. Sometimes, though, the plot is interesting but the grammar is not, and sometimes we do want to edit, hehe.

Anyways, nice to see you posting again, hehe.

Nice to see you up and about, too! :D

lol, I've done that so many times! It generally happened to me in smaller fandoms and unpopular 'ships.

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2007-04-30 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't it just frustarting, to say the least? Hehe ;D

[identity profile] m1s7resss.livejournal.com 2007-04-27 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
=\ that is the worse experience ever.

Whenever I read a semi-bad fic in a smaller fandom, I laugh because I know it wouldn't last two seconds in the HP fandom. D: it's not bad to laugh, right?

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2007-04-30 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
Aahahaha! My thoughts exactly :D (And um, no, it's not bad to laugh, hehehe)

oh yeah, me has

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2007-04-30 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't it just annoying? Hehe.

Glad to have another shot at talking with you :D

[identity profile] sunflowerkudi.livejournal.com 2007-04-30 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah man it is..

Aww, you're making me feel mushy inside. How's it going m' dear?

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Aside from having work kicking at me every day of the week? Fine :D How about ya?

[identity profile] sunflowerkudi.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Im okay, letting home life kick my ass.:P It sucks, I need to work on the story which if sfor u and SJ, but my compy is in a box .

[identity profile] sunflowerkudi.livejournal.com 2007-05-02 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
My compy is a desktop, and when I came home from University, it went into its box. I cant use it yet because there isnt a place for me to set it up at this point.

It sucks cuz the story is on it, and a lot of my links for other things. And I tend to write better on the compy than on paper. Plus, because I share this compy with 2 bros, so not much time on it.

In my view, good fics just feed on themselves. If you're surrounded by good fics, surely they inspire more people to write good fics of their own, y/n?

Where art thou?

You're meant to write them! Go go go and save the poor widdle fandom from badficness! :)

[identity profile] zarahjoyce.livejournal.com 2007-04-30 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeeh! Hehe. I'll try... hahah.

Great to see you around, dude!

(Anonymous) 2007-06-08 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
uhm i TRY putting up with them but it never works out I either get really frustrated and leave or I get frustrated and flame. Don't worry though, your fics are great and they're a major relief.
