you have to have a sense of humor
filed under reviews: fanfiction
... or you'll never survive in this business. Thus I point you to the Book of Fanfic by Manna at LiveJournal, starting with an excerpt from Chapter One.
1: And it came to pass that some people wrote fanfic, and they had themselves a high old time of it, and why not, for it was fun.
2: And it came to pass very shortly afterwards that others read these writings, and thought that they were not Good, and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
3: "Lo!" they said. "This badfic is a plague upon the nations of the Earth. For how hard is it to get a beta reader? Or to run spellcheck? Or use the holy powers of logic? Or write the characterisations *I* like? Or do *normal* pairings? Verily, these writers are crap."
If you are unfamiliar with fanfic and new to this weblog, you might want some backstory, here before you go read the rest of the gospel according to Manna.
Also, I am still finding broken image links since I moved the weblog to this server. I'm fixing them as fast as I can, so please bear with me.
