I'm getting sort of sick of D/Hr fanfiction these days.
Don't get me wrong, I adore the ship. I want to man it if I could (but I can't so that's sort of moot).
But I've been stumbling on to lots of really lousy fics that just gets me going "AARGH!". It's really hard to find good fics with good plots and good grammar. And not just that but good characterization too. If you don't know the characters well, try not to write fanfics pleaaaaaase, I'm beggin' ya. It just makes them seem stilted, stiff and boring, turning readers off (NOT in the dirty sense). Good fics should also have good beta-readers (and some of the really excellent ones I know are from Coloured Grey) because beta-readers helps the writer improve their stories, correct grammatical errors/canon errors, be there as an idea-bouncer and generally make the story a whole damn lot more interesting.
I have to say the same for KHR! fics. Don't just churn out some crappy story with super uber lousy grammar and post it!! It makes KHR seem so cheap!! Like me! I do not post anything that I come up with due to the fact that it is very crappy and I want to shoot myself after reading it over again!! *and wonder, how the hell did I come up with this shite??* (%)^@#$%!^*(*))_$^~#$$@^%*&^()() jeesh!
I figured out what my pet peeve is: lousy grammar and errors that shout "OY LOOK AT ME I'M SO OBVIOUS I SHOULD BE EXECUTED!"
*P/S(post shite): Good アニメ should not be doomed to the likes of Naruto/Bleach/One Piece. They should never, EVER be dubbed into BM nor Chinese. Only subbed. But Naruto/Bleach/One Piece have lost all hopes of ever being salvaged. Let us all hope that KHR!, 黒執事 and D.Gray-man never, ever, ever suffer the same fate. Oh, lol, Naruto/Bleach/One Piece all have one thing in common: They. Never. Ever. Finish. All have been going on for until 200+ episodes/400-500+ manga chapters. Will they ever find peace from their long suffering?
