Sweden I don't even know how they found me. Bulgaria is a little lower on the lists /lazy to screencap lol I'm just really amaze at the diversity in the fandom, I remember I did a giveaway before (Tiffany's Beanpole poster etc) and the winner was from Spain (I thought she was an American until she sent me her address and I was like woahh) |

justifying arguments for not talking shit about fanfic on here: 1) fanfic is free 2) authors write fic on their own free time and most aren't necessarily trying to be the next hemingway, so criticizing doesn't serve any useful purpose to them 3) it can discourage people from writing and contributing to fandom justifying arguments for talking shit about fanfic on here: 1) it's an anon forum, it was built for shit-talking to some extent 2) most authors whose fanfic is discussed here probably don't visit this forum anyway, and they all certainly have the option to avoid it 3) 90% of snsd fanfic is pretty much shit, often to a hilarious/offensive degree, and it's hard not to acknowledge that fact when discussing it 4) it's fun and cathartic to point out goofy shit that happens in fanfics (see:wtfasianfanfics @ dumblr dot com) i tend to agree more with the latter arguments. i don't think amateur writers should stop writing (even if they suck) as long as it's something they enjoy doing, i would never deliberately discourage anyone from writing fanfic. i also acknowledge that fanfic isn't high literature nor is it trying to be, so i refrain from going all harold bloom on it. but if you're really that sensitive to any negative feedback that it would make you not want to write anymore, might i suggest either avoiding places where you know you may get criticism (ie, here) or not making your fic public? just a suggestion. |

^ i don't think anyone is saying because they do it for fun and in their free time nobody should ever say its bad, but some just take it a litle too far you'd think they were judging a professional piece of writing lol |

lol nobody is saying you or others can't say it's bad because the writers tried their best, though. some are just saying they are just fanfiction why so serious? some here sound way too fucking pretentious. |

fair enough, but the solution is the same as it is on any other thread in this forum, when you see someone tl;dr-ing just roll your eyes and scroll on by. i don't think "stop taking something that's meant for fun so seriously" is a fair criticism on a website where people "waste" thousands of words discussing the everyday activities of south korean pop stars. also, maybe my memory is bad but i haven't even seen any real examples of the pretentiousness people are talking about on this thread. there are fic recs and requests, a few scattered opinions of "i didn't enjoy this fic bc the writing is hard to read/plot/characterization is bad/some other subjective reason", some spazzing and civil discussion about ES and other fics. haven't seen anyone "taking things too seriously" until this hurt of the butt anon showed up, actually... |

I think you guys criticizing other people for having and expressing their opinion on discussion forum is pretty pretentious. I get what you're saying, adjust your expectations. But what I'm saying is, I don't have to. |

talking about how some fanfic is bad is the least "taking too far" thing I see in this fandom it's hilarious that you use that expression when talking about people saying some fanfics are bad lol the most obvious conclusion we get from all this is that: if you can't deal with criticism, don't post your fics online I know an author who only shares her fic with friends, she doesn't have the confidence to post online some people REALLY should do that |

Pretty much! I mean, if you want to read things without thinking about them too much, you're free to do that, and I can see why you would. Reading should be enjoyable, so if as long as you enjoy reading what you do, there isn't a conflict. Personally, I like writing and I like reading, and I like talking about things I write and read, so this kind of thing is just my hobby. I've also come to expect a certain standard in what I read to enjoy it, so I'm disappointed and I'll criticise if it doesn't meet those expectations I have. I'll also happily engage in a debate with people who dis/agree with me, because that's also something I'm fond of doing. If you don't want to participate, you can feel free not to, but I don't think it's particularly pretentious to have different interests to other people. |

Pieces of Me (TaeNy) updated! With the talk of people being [too] critical of fanfics the last few pages (me being one of the people who are critical), this is a fic that I read even though it's poorly edited, but I read anyway because I'm a sucker for non-AU and emotaeng. So sometimes my expectations are lower for fanfiction that appeals to my imagination. actual spoiler about this chapter

DA, well TLC was a lot worse that's for sure. I used to write but wouldn't feel comfortable getting involved again I think, reading this topic and especially all the discussions on TLC really makes you think it's just not worth it. |

(well, i also do post from time to time) Anyways, thank you for reading and posting it here. Hope to read some reactions from you guys though.. (may it be compliments or constructive criticisms... -- 'J' <3 |
