In Topic: We Need More NaruSaku Fanfiction!

23 August 2009 - 08:21 AM

Like people have already said, quality over quantity. Why lose sleep over something like not having as many fics as another fandom? Let's be content with what we have: some beautiful, compelling gems that we can treasure.

In Topic: do you keep your identity as a fanfiction author a secret in real life?

23 August 2009 - 08:16 AM

A couple of my friends know, but I try to keep people knowing to a minimum. I prefer to keep things like that to myself.

In Topic: Your Favorite Crack Pairings

ShikaSaku; KakaSaku; NejiIno; LeeHina; HidaTema; ShikaHina; KakaHina.

ShikaTema or LeeTen. Either way, it doesn't matter.

1) Mary-Sues
No words can express my hatred for these horribly unrealistic characters. Who wants to read about an impossibly beautiful, well-endowed, athletic, intelligent and otherwise perfect character? Pretty much no one, I think. Personally, I like to be able to relate to a character through their struggles to overcome one of their flaws. With Mary-Sues, that's pretty much impossible.

2) Bad spelling, grammar etc.
Sure, not everyone can have perfect spelling, grammar and punctuation, but that's no excuse to not put in the effort to proof-read your own work. Even when you don't want to proof-read, at least get someone else to do it for you. Is it really too much to ask for someone to help you make your fiction at least readable?

3) Too much description on what a character is wearing.
It's nice to know what a character is wearing, but a full-out description is just tedious and usually totally unecessary. We don't need to know what exactly your character is wearing and how they are wearing it.

Just some pet peeves of mine when it comes to fanfiction.
