Fan Fiction Article
I found this article on fan fiction in my local newspaper. Here's what non writers have to say about this ritual:
Scores and Scores of fiction fans have found a way to participate in the lives of their favorite books, movies, TV shows, cartoons, and video games, They write story lines, called fan fic. And within fan fic youcan find subgenres, such as sexually charged "slash writing", which is for mature audiences only. On www.fanfiction.net, you'll find homesupun sequels, prequels, and spinoffs frof every thing from Harry Potter and Star Trek to Queer Eye for the Strait Guy and Max Payne. Cool, huh?

I have a Tolkein story on there, called An Immortal Love. Its R rated so I couldn't post it here so I found that sight instead. A friend of mine also wrote a Peter Pan story, called Emerald eyes, Ruby lips which deals with the sweeter side of Hook. Some of the stuff's pretty good. Mx

Most Lord of the Rings fan fiction is terrible unfortunately. Day dreams usually do not make good stories, especially when it involves the author, self inserted as an Elf, being forced into an arranged marriage with Legolas.

There are good fan fictions out there, maybe I'll go read yours. However, lousy writers have, in my mind, ruined any storyline with a "Legomance".
If your story is good, I will enjoy it though. I'm not completely closed minded.

I hang out at ff.net a ton, but I'm far from well liked. I critique Mary-Sues- harshyl a lot of trhe time. Bleh. I do write myself, but I have only one story posted as yet. My profile is here, if you'd like to read it. (Please? I need serious criticism!)
Miranda- You can write well, but there are a lot of canon errors and some of your characters or OOC. Would you like me to critique it? I tend to be quite harsh, which is why I ask with people I already know. You already know it's a Sue and that that doesn't necesarily make it bad, so I could skip my generic Sue lectures. Whaddaya say?

What's your author ID Miranda? The search feature isn't working right now, so it's the only way I can add you.

Oh btw, before anyone comments that the main character in the story is called Miranda too- a) it isn't my real name, its a made up one and b) I named myself Miranda on here because of my story not the other way around. Mx
