Another Fanfiction-Related Post

Well, I've sent the emails and we'll (by which I mean 'I'll) see.

And did everyone see FFN's update on the rules? Yay!!! Death to Scriptfic! Death to Youfic! Death!!!



Of course, my category still has the ebil OT/MS fics (five on the Justin page today…I really must get reviewing.) to deal with. ::sigh:: It seems like there are a sum total of three plots in the category. OT, May/Brendan's journey, and ships. Sometimes there are stories (which are my fault, sorry) that are badly written angsty pokemon POVs. And that's about it.

Kill them. Kill them all.

And it isn't just my imagination. Or not entirely. If you jump back a hundred pages or so, while I won't exactly say there's an abundance of well-written stories, there's at least some variety.

Which I suppose is all the more reason to check over the next Unoriginality OT chapter, work on Ice, and submit a one-shot I've had kicking around about absol.

I think I'll also make up a list of alternative plot ideas. Kamisama knows we need some, and I have more than I can use.

I'm pretty sure a Youfic is a self insertion. If you really think about the title self insertion, it's pretty fitting. REALLY think about it, whoo fanfiction orgasms x_x Interactive fics that have people submitting their characters ususally have the author self inserting themselves as well.
To me, most script fics seem equivilant to posting little pictures made up of ascii characters. Actually, I think I might prefer the ascii art because occasionally it's pleasing to look at.

Youfic's self-insertion, but it only refers to the kind that involves saying "You are a beautiful girl named _____"

Ascii art also takes more effort than scriptfic. Although I guess that's true about everything.
