Welcome to Gaia! ::

To each their own I suppose, I could care less if other people write and read it, I didn't say I didn't think it should be done, it's just not something I'm interested in. 3nodding I don't understand the people who freak out and say something shouldn't be done just because they don't like it. Tha's silly.

And I guess I can understand your second example Mako, because then Diru is acting themselves, that's actually a nifty idea. ninja

Ah, no, I didn't mean to sound like I was getting defensive or anything. I actually wasn't even meaning to reply directly to anything you said sweatdrop To each their own, definitely - I'm certainly not here to force anyone into writing fanfiction crying



And you may. Are we allowed to post them up here? If not, you can read them at s i l e n t::a n g l e s (and drool over Miyavi in the bathtub). The Child Prey fic (called Children) is in the fanfiction section under Omittchi. All my work is there, actually. Tell me what you think when you read it, please ^______^

I should warn you, I guess - it's long and wordy ('cause I'm a huge stickler for detail). And there are more chapters to come, and side-stories, and ... yeah. Stuff. >_> It's an epic, I tell you.

I finished the first chapter, I liked it. 3nodding

Sometimes reading people's views on fanfiction (especially real person fanfiction) makes me a little discouraged. Not about actually writing it, but more that there's people who are offended by it. And, despite everything i do, i don't like upsetting people.

But i don't mind fanfiction in the least. Honestly i think it's more of a personal thing...like a daydream. People are allowed to daydream whatever they want about whoever, and some of them write it down. As long as it doesn't get out of hand, like selling it as a book or throwing it at whichever people are presented in the story, i think it's a good and healthy thing.

Something caught my eye a while back after reading Stephen King's The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. It was a little note in the back of the book, like a disclaimer, and in it he said: "There is a real Tom Gordon, who does indeed pitch in the closer's role for the Boston Red Sox, but the Gordon in this story is fictional. The impressions fans have of people who have achieved some degree of celebrity are always fictional, as I can attest of my own personal experience." That sort of stuck with me whenever i'd see contoversy over the issue. No one really knows these people, and in the end, even the ideas people who would put an end to fanfiction have about the celebrities are fictional.

Sheesh. e_e It just goes around in circles, doesn't it? (and that's not even touching the jrock world's war on fangirlism.....)

*ahem* But on a much lighter note..... Anyone ever read the fic Agitator, by Alexandra? *worship*

This is why Mr. King p0wnz heart

I think people who are offended by it are taking it to seriously, no one makes them read it. The only time I can see it being wrong to write it is if the persons IN the fic are like "Stoppit T.T" Sort of how Anne Rice is like "DON'T TOUCH MY LESTAT!"

And I have not read that fic, just heard you talking about it. sweatdrop

I hate Anne Rice right now. Her writing seems primitive. Only book by her I concider good was Interview... the next few in the series were at least entertaining, but after a while... bleh.. gonk

Vampire Chron. fics amuse me. They call them "specs" sometimes. o_0

I think I'll print out that DEG fic and read it before I go to sleep or something. domokun

I haven't read Blood and Gold. But Blackwood Farm, imo, was terrible! gonk I hate Anne Rice now crying

Yours xd And some other random ones too. whee
