[Poll] Do you read fanfiction? Also request story listings here (pokemon&others)
« on: July 05, 2010, 12:15:23 PM »
So some people read fanfiction as a way to continue a series, book, or movie that they love. Those who don't may have many and varied reasons! I am interested in these reasons.

ALSO

For those of you who read [fanfiction], I am writing a small script/program to sort fanfiction.net stories by the number of reviews they have, thus making it easy to find stories that are actually good ^_^.

If you would like to request a database/list of stories from a particular fandom, please post here! Also please specify the file type you want (text file, word document, excel document etc.).

As a rule, I usually don't, just because it's usually horrible. However, The Terrible Secret Of Animal Crossing is wonderful, and everyone should read it.

By loving so many, I have touched their lives and helped them rebirth as well. To be strong is to instill strength in another.

I read it but only if I hate the ending of a game like Sly 3 and so I read Fanfiction to make me feel better about how it ended, or I write it with a huge twist just for fun sometimes.

The main reason that I don't read fanfiction is that try as you might, you can never copy somebody else's writing style.
This makes any unofficial continuations of books seem out of place. Also, it's not usually of very high quality.
