Fanfic richer or poorer?
Tech L. Me:
You forgot Harry Potter + Draco Malfoy
And there is a very good reason why ff.net is called 'The Pit of Voles'
Yeratel:
I suspect that the slash pile on fanfic.net would be a fertile hunting ground for pedophiles looking for hormonal teenagers searching for positive feedback on their writing talents.
Murphy's Stunt Double:
Now there's a thought to give me nightmares! *shudders*
THETA:
*gags*
Eww. Anyways, i apologize for my age group Yeratel. Most of their shit does indeed blow. God, you would think that if they're already using someone else's characters, universe, and basic storyline they could at least bust out something half descent. I blame the school system's lack in bolstering creative writing in english classes. For god's sake, we're expected to explicate poems and analyze the existential ideas portrayed in works by Camus for months on end, but they can't just hand us a piece a paper and say write a short story for one bloody week? And again, i blame TV. Television and movies are not a prime example of good writing. Literature is. GAH, anger.
Yeratel:
It's not their fault for being teenagers, and at least they enjoy reading, and they WANT to write, they just don't know how. I don't know if creativity is something that can actually be taught, but it would be great if they learned more about parts of speech, sentence structure, and spelling.
