Fan fiction and You.

[Rendezvous]

I suggest we keep discussion to this thread and keep the old thread as archive material.

Nearly ten years ago, I wrote a little fanfiction. One long fic (well, in comparison to my other fics) and a few short ones. They were based on the videogame series Oddworld.

First off, I REMEMBER THAT GAME! IT WAS AWESOME

However on a more relevant note I agree with everything else you said, most especially the part about people only being interested in seeing characters X and Y hook up.

I have (regrettably) read a few fan fictions, all of with were horrible with the exception of ONE Harry Potter fic, which instead of being driven by romantic interest was driven by Harry and Draco being put in hilarious circumstances and eventually becoming friends. This was well written and didn't rely on the reader having read Harry Potter first which is what particularly impressed me.

This kind of quality is rare though and now I don't touch the stuff.
