Welcome to Gaia! ::

(A thought I received while reading the New Members' Post)

Do you have favorite fanfics? Where do you go to read them?

I usually read on fanfiction.net. If you want to read some truly good stuff, check out the author Angrybee. I came across her writing because she has some of the best Rurouni Kenshin fanfiction (I suggest reading "Hajime and Tokio" and "Sundial").

There is some truly great fanfiction out there. But to get to that truly great stuff, you have to wade through quite a bit of slop. And a lot of said slop has crazy boyxboy pairings. Clara does not like crazy boyxboy pairings. Not one bit. sweatdrop

I haven't been into Fanfic as I have been. Fanfiction has been a part of my life for a long time now. *counts* Wow. A really long time. I feel old. Right now, I'm into Stargate fanfiction.

I hate it when people change the characters so much that you just can't finish reading the story. I belive I know what story you are talking about with Keiko being..,well yeah. You get the point...

I read fanfics for books or manga's I've read. I read them from fanfiction.net

I read fanfiction if the writer is one whom I've read before and liked or if the summary sounds good. The quality of fanfiction in general seems to have gone downhill recently. All fandoms are suffering from overwhelming slop.

I write fanfiction too, but I try very hard to keep my characters in character. I've gotten some compliments on that with my Phantom of the Opera story. That really makes me glad since Erik can be such a pain to write. There are so man different interpretations of his character, and some of them vary greatly on his personality.

I write fanfiction for the movie The Mummy, jessi-the-untalented is my pen name there.

I read it for The Mummy, too, and I havn't really been able to get into other fandoms much. Buffelyn and Eve are deffinately my favorite authors there.

one of these days I'm gonna rewrite the berserk manga with a realistic physics engin. For example. Guts has a sword that is as big as him (6 foot long blade, perhaps?) and he is sparring with griffith, who has a saber. Guts does a full power overhead cleave on griffith, who is currently mounted. Griffith nonchalantly raises his sword and parries the blow. just stops it dead. no visible effort.

now, for the real life version. Guts does a full overhead blow. griffith raises his sword to parry but due to the speed, mass and force behind guts's attack, not only does griffith';s sword breaks, but so does his arm and he and a good chunk of the horse has been cleft in two. Then guts's sword bends because having a sword that size would render it useless after striking a solid object, as most of the mass beond the point of percussion would not want to stop.
