Ficcie Talk
I know, I know, I really need to be working on RS and the mpreg butttttt...I'm having too much fun with the next chapter of HC. Mainly because I like to "screw" people over and throw in surprises. :P
In a rare twist of events though I'm working on all three fics at once. Normally I only work on one at the time. This system works for me, but alas the system is now dead (for the time being).
Regardless RS will be the next update since that is what my wifey wants (and what my wifey wants, my wifey gets). That fic is coming to an end and once it is over, I think I'm going to focus on the other two fics for a bit before starting another one. It's tough writing three fics at once and I've got some one-shot ideas I want to do but have no time for.

At first it seemed cool but a lot of the people posting there are dumb. Like I've gotten into an argument with people over having names spelled right in fiction (they apparently thought didn't see what's wrong in spelling names wrong), Nenya got in a fight with someone because she told someone rape wasn't suppose to be fluffy (they disagreed) and now this incident.
I don't even have it on my friends list anymore because of the earlier stuff so I have not clue what the bitch said as I only check once a day. I don't think I'm going to bother to look as I know I'm just going to get mad and think I'll just go leave it now before ending up in a big fight (because I would not be able to keep my mouth shut). It's not cool to be rude to people who are trying to help you. >_<
I lurk at a place called fandom_wank which is a lot better but unfortunately they're not LJ (they're at some other LJ type place). I've been going through their older posts and fanficrants gets brought up a lot for negative stuff. Looks like a lot of people don't like them and I'm not surprised.

Instead of whining saying she wanted Kura/Malik fics, she should have done the work herself. Either that or make a list of the things she wanted in a fic so people didn't waste their time just to have her insult good fics.
You know what really gets me thought about her? A few years ago a small group of fans tried to get people using the name 'Yalik' for Marik by messing together the name 'Yami Malik'. They came up with it through silly fun and spent most of their time joking around, writing crackfics and coming up with gay-ness conversations between characters. Anywho just the other week the girl admitted being apart of the 'Yalik' group so I figured for sure she would have loved your fics because they're so funny. I guess she's now too "mature" for that type of stuff. *rollseyes*

I've said it before - people take fanfic WAY too seriously. I do care about my stories and I want them to be as good as possible, but mostly they're just practice for my writing skills and a fun hobby. I'm not going to nitpick them or expect them to be anywhere near as good as a published novel (though some of them are better than crappy novels I've seen). It's not worth getting into fights and being an overall bitch just because someone wants to write something crazy and OOC, especially when it's obviously just for fun anyway.

Kura's a thief! Of course he's going to be a klepto! For being such a big YGO fan she seemed to have missed that part. LOL
As for Malik he's in handful of scenes (seriously you can count them on one hand) where he's not out for revenge or hanging out in someone else body do to Marik controling his. How the hell is anyone (except for Takahashi of course) supposed know how he'd act. He's finally able to live his own life for the first time ever, it's called character development. Anyone can write Malik the way they want but most go towards the flamboyantly gay because it's ya'know FUN! LOL
She's starting to remind me of those bitches from PP who flamed Dragon that one time and claimed that people don't change over time.
Part of me now wants to go back and have some 'fun' with her stupidness but I don't think she'd get it.

Malik, Bakura and Yami are all a clean slate when writing because all of them are living a normal life for once. That's one of the reasons why I love the YGO fandom so much. With other fandoms the characters are defined so well it's harder to write. Even with YGO I barely touch characters like Honda, Jounouchi, Anzu, etc whose characteristics are so well known.

You're right, the reason why I love writing YGO fanfic so much is that, unlike other fandoms, it's full of holes and opportunities to jump in and expand on the characters. That's one reason OOC comments tick me off, because they can be interpreted so many ways.

Now if someone wrote Jou as a bookworm I can see someone making a OOC comment but I would hope Jou as a bookworm was done to be OOC on purpose.
no subject
Nah, just can't see it. Now, if he was pretending to be a bookworm to pick up chicks that hung out at the library or something...
no subject
Now I'm picturing him in a trendy coffee house on campus with poetry books piled around him, pretending to read them, in a lame attempt to pick up chicks.
