Random Note About Life
(so I'm on the 8th season of 7th heaven and David Gallagher has killed someone (accidentally). It's getting so intense and half the main cast has been replaced...*sigh* I miss Matt!
anyways, current obsessions are: finding good blogs!, Shibuya (still), and finding a literary agent!!
Random Note Done
For the main topic, fanfiction, there are many misconceptions. When I told my friend that I write fanfiction (which I don't tell most people, eheh...), she was like you do NOT want to tell people that! And when I asked her why not, she told me that there was some article published about how it's all a bunch of erotica, basically a playground for a writer's id. :P
So there is some of that stuff, but I don't want to read that! That's not the whole population! Like I said in an earlier ranty post, I really don't like all the yaoi, especially...M-rated yaoi, but at least there's a filter and I can read the ones by average people who appreciate the author's pairing. (Okay, fine, I have read one Draco X Hermione story, but it was rated T, so it's all good). To be honest, no matter how old I am, I probably won't go to the M section just because it's not my thing. Most of what I see is T, so fanfiction isn't just that at all! It's a smaller sub-culture! (Sort of...?)
It's things like 50 Shades of Gray that give it a bad name! (It was originally a Twilight fanfiction and anything related to Twilight is crap, so it shouldn't have any credibility at all!
On a slightly unrelated note, that book is most popular among married middle-aged women. You have to wonder about marriages these days...
