"The most dangerous thing about time travel is how easy it is to cause a paradox. However, the worst kind of paradox is caused not by going into the past, but going into the future, since, no matter what you do...
YOU'LL ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING YOU'LL END UP WANTING TO CHANGE 'FOR THE BETTER'!" - Personal opinion.
Now, this is nothing about my latest little rant... well, not quite.
Whenever someone has knowledge of the future, it'll never go well. They always want to change something for the better, and end up rendering their future knowledge inaccurate or worse.
However, In fanfiction, for some stupid reason, people could go back to when they're only a dream in their parent's minds, and they wouldn't go out of their way to change ANYTHING of merit.
They'd treat it like they're suffering from the Butterfly Effect, or events seem to ignore all attempts to change them.
What are other people's experiences with time travel stories?
Am I wrong, or do more writers write a looser canon than normal and call it 'time travel' than actually change the past to make a better future?
@21,
I dunno, I still don't feel comfy with it unless it fits into the general framework of reality.
and yet on checking your link, I find several fics about a blue hedgehog who can talk? Doesn't seem all that realistic to me!
Hey there :)
I'm a fan of backward travel fics but not forward travel. I'm for example planning a Count Cain/God Child X-over with the Time Travellers Wife. Seems random but I have some really good ideas for the main femal OC (always use OC's XP) however that's more to do with finding a place to belong rather than changing the past. I think that so long as a fic is written well and has a good plot it can pull anything off.
@25
There's a difference between plausibility and scientific and physical impossibility (at this moment). Ha ha, I was on the receiving end for that one though.
Well, I explain HOW such things happen. It's not like, BOOM this happens with Applied Phlebotinum (look it up...). I like to explain what goes on and how it happens within the limits of reality. Anthropomorphic animals? Scientifically possible to make. I'm sorry, 'make' is unkind. Uplift sounds better.
Technically I induce time travel where one place is located 12,000 years from the current date in the story. The other is our 'present'. I am totally guilty of not explaining how this works, but I'm TRYING to cook something up to satisfy spacebattles.com.
But that's another story...
Uuhh.. a temporal anomaly in time? A wormhole? The scientists discovered it by accident while trying to teleport?
Hey, it can happen! Wormholes are theoretically possible and have been theorized not only to transport a user between two points in space, but also along time as well. Theoretical physics makes major appearances in my stories (a hedgehog able to crack the sound barrier for example, or a fox being able to lift his own body weight with helicopter rotors for tails), but I also point out that most great discoveries were made by accident.
Other than this, physics and time works exactly straightforward, Newtonian Physics and Space Stealth and all that.

I think a character going back in time to change something just disagrees with me - I'm all about lives moving forward, dealing with the past, not trying to erase it. A character going back in time to watch something and learn something is much more interesting for me.
>>32 - There are various time line theories out there. For example, some state that if you future and past self meet, you'll have a grand old explosion, while others state that if they meet, nothing will really happen. I got most of my timeline theory knowledge from reading and watching stuff that deal with timeline theory.
@31 Here's a Wikipedia source on Time travel since my initial comment was made two years ago.
"Wormholes are a hypothetical warped spacetime which are also permitted by the Einstein field equations of general relativity, although it would be impossible to travel through a wormhole unless it were what is known as a traversable wormhole."
This is a chapter I wrote on the semi-plausible nature of Slipstream travel

In other words: we don't. That's why it's a theoretical model!
and to @28: No teleportation was ever involved. This was a proto-FTL concept that was meant as a slingshot towards another high gravity well, like a star (Proxima Centauri was the target), however, a gap between alternate universes (theoretical in nature) was broken and I have written a detailed entry on alternate universes in context with my storyline here:
What is the best Harry Potter fanfic you have EVER read? Post the links and there titles here!!!
As for me...hmm...I'm not too sure...anythnig with Remus in or a Draco/Harry slash. They're so cute together! x
Another wonderful series of fics! The Saving Connor series by Lightning on the Wave, the first of which is here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2580283/1/
They are brilliantly thought out and epic-length AU fics with a Twin-Who-Lived storyline that is actually ORIGINAL and wonderful.
>>44 I'll concede that the Draco Trilogy was well-loved and honestly, what I've read of it begins well, but I can't get around the issues surrounding it, and will likely never finish it.
Ahh. I'm looking for a specific fic of HGMM - don't recall the author. Either way, Hermione has an accident in it and is temporarily blind. They play truth or dare at Grimmauld's Place and Hermione has to admit she is still a virgin. She and Minerva grow closer together and there's a scene with Hermione in Minerva's pj pants and Minerva asking where her hands are. Can anyone help me?
http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1265079/Lomonaaeren does a lot of excellent DracoxHarry stories.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6960803/1/Another_Kind_of_Power
This is a story that has only just begun. The author's new to fanfic but writes really well. It's a Draco/OC fic and worth a look.

Basically, as someone stated before, Lightning on the Wave's "Sacrifices Arc" is very good and original. Bad news is that it's over 3 million words long if you string all 7 parts together. Honestly, though, even if it took me forever to get to part 4 now, it's worth it to read it. Click on the link to get to the entirety of the series:
http://www.fanfiction.net/u/895946/Lightning_on_the_Wave
Then there's Aya Macchiato with... well, basically every HP fic I've ever read from her, mainly encompassing "Descent into Darkness" (along with its discontinued sequel), "Rebirth," and "Tampering with Time is Risky Business." She has an unpleasant habit of dropping her stories at some point since the majority of her fics are plot-bunny-driven, but she really does deserve more support on FFN as far as I'm concerned:
http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2328854/Aya_Macchiato
>>51 Thank you so much for introducing me to my new fanfiction goddess! Aya Macchiato makes me so happy with her fics, you wouldn't even believe! tears of joy
And please, people, read "Harry Potter and the Descent into Darkness" when you can. It's a dark!Harry fic that's actually convincing and so entertaining to go through. Yeah, it's TR-LV/HP, but it's more than bearable, if you ask me. ;D
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6163339/1/Harry_Potter_and_the_Descent_into_Darkness
While I'm here, I'll also suggest this one fanfic called "Children of the Ages". It's Harry/OC and just started, both of which are usually not my taste, especially the former, since it's usually ripe with Mary-Sues. But as far as I can tell, that is NOT how this one will turn out. It's well-written and nobody seems to be "perfect" in it, so I'm holding some hope that this'll turn out pretty cool. :)
This is my most favorite drarry EVER!
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6994172/1/Accidental_Magic
Basically, we have a thread talking about clichés and whether one likes it or not. This thread is about those clichés that you want to see done, but can never seem to find a good fanfic for. I am off to make my list...
>>10 Anytime. :) I have far too many favourites for my own good...
Deathnote:
Light's redemption- That always is very powerful when done well, but many many more are done poorly.
Any fanfic where the characters are suddenly all in a modeern day highschool. I think that has great potential. I would love to see what cliques the characters would orv would not join and how they would cope with modern day issues. But every one I've read so far has been pretty dire.
Ah, high school fics. I always seem to be lucky enough to find the decent ones done for Hetalia: Axis Powers, but... Yeah, I can still see why people would be upset if all they find are terrible ones.
But there's a form of cliche that exists in the Wizard101 fandom that's so rampant that basically 90% of the fics I find for it are all like that: An orphan on Earth (and I swear to god, they're ALWAYS orphans) is whisked away to the mystical world of Wizard City and discovers that he/she is a wizard destined to save the world from the game's main villan, Malistaire. Trust me when I say that if you went to the Wizard101 section on FFN, you'd find almost nothing else other than that plot line. And what's much worse is the fact that they're all terribly-written!
So yeah, that's a cliche that I wish I could see a good story from, because that'd be a bigger improvement from everything else in the fandom. D:
Speaking of high school fics, has there ever been ones set in college instead?
Ah, I'm a sucker for cliches with a twist. I like to have a little surprise in the story. XP [Even if the ending is inevitable, and I know it. Blargh.]
Umn... I think one popular cliche I've found written well is the classic "falls in love with your best friend" thing. I enjoy those most of the time [by the authors I have seen.]
As for thecrimson's question, I've read a few fanfics in a college setting. Courtanie on fanfiction.net wrote one with Butters and Kenny from South Park that I thought was nice. There's also this FANASTIC story set in London written beautifully... It's a shame I can't remember the name. [Sorry if I had gotten your hopes up there.]
PS:: There are a few Sprousecest or just Sprouse fics in general I have read in a college setting.
I'd like to see an 'OC/SI thrown into fanuniverse and NOT fall in love with the main character/ character they like'. (For example, OC [usually a Mary-sue] is thrown into... Let's say The Legend of Zelda Universe [or the Zeldaverse], and they DON'T end up falling in love with Link/Dark Link.)
I don't think I've seen one of them yet.
I'd also like to see another well-written High-school AU, and it's be interesting if somebody used British Secondary School instead (even though our schools seem less interesting, we still have the Chavs which are like cowardly Jocks, are usually druggies and drink copious amounts of alcohol.) I imagine it'd be an interesting take.
I too would like to see a British secondary school. Whenever it is portrayed on American television, our schools always look like Hogwarts and in fanfiction it seems the same; British schools are portrayed as if we all go to Cambisge uni.
I would like to see an inner city comp on fanfiction.net. That'd really be something.
>>17 - The problem with OC/SI's comes from the fact most self inserts are done for wish fulfillment. You are more likely to find one where the OC isn't an SI then is.
The one I liked for Bleach has since been deleted. D:
>>18 - I don't write for any fandom outside of Hogwarts that is British at this point so I can't comment on this.
...
The latest cliche I am bothered with is this one.
... Girl has angsty event occur to her or have occured to her. Male character comes along at the right time and heals said ansgt. The two fall madly in love.
I had a writer who is working with this cliche try and tell me that I play the "she's a strong female so she wouldn't act this way" card because "I don't like seeing said character sad." This is being told to someone who has written nice reviews on one of three fanfics that have featured said character being sad and someone who has written for the angst genre and darkfic. I don't think I should have to put up with strong females being turned into Bella Swans at all. Which brings me to my next cliche.
Clichés in the Gundam Wing universe:
Would be great if they let him stay IC >> Because Duo is cocky and arrogant when allowed. And very bouncy and laid back.
Clichés in the Dragonball Z universe:
Never works, too chewed out.
I'm guessing most of the people here go to fanfiction.net. Anywhere else?
Same as Nadine, fanfiction.net and deviantArt. I'm down as Kivea on dA, but not on ff.net. Iono why.
I usually use dA for fanart though.
I prefer fanfiction.net and deviantArt myself. Same name as above, just started on DeviantArt but my scanner went and broke on me, not good.
Aloha!
I'm Magnus, but on fanfiction.net I'm Magnus Spark (Woo check my ego, I even gave myself a surname >=D)
I'm on LiveJournal too at Mannequin_0
So yeah, hi.
hey!
Well I use fanfiction.net (like many others) and I also use Quizilla
I always use fanfiction.net, it's the first one I found and I stick with it!
Fanfiction.net for my premier and revised editions, deviantart for a few oneshots/stories that I've actually illustrated, myspace for my journals/work drafts, and tnbc.eu for any "Nightmare Before Christmas" stories. I like to get my stuff out there.
Just Fanfiction.net, its easy to use, plus everyone uses it lol so lots to read!
My first fan site was Quizilla (ruler-of-them94) but now I hardly -ever- it and Ive been using FanFiction.net (dragonxdimond) for a while.
I've only ever known FF.net so all of my stories are there. I find it easier than hoping around to other sites, and I've also found it much easier to use than other sites I've come across.
my name is linked to my profile on FF.net
I first posted on fanfiction.net
But my more explicit stories I've put on gundam-wing-universe.net
Both my pen names are fan-to-ficiton.
For my Dragonball Z fics I also post on Gohanxtrunks.net but I find Wordpress quite hard to use in order to upload chapters.
I stopped reading some fandoms, because I was so irritated that some stories had loads of reviews, but were pap, where other stories were awesome and had a lot of effort put in, but because they had more plot and less sex, got no reviews.
I've come across that a lot while reading through some of the fandoms. It's ridiculous that people look for just sex scenes, most of the time they are written horribly, rather than going for stories that are so well written with details and a lot of effort. It's a shame people do that, but I guess that's how things go. Just have to be thankful for the ones who take the time to look for good stories.
Hard question eh???
Err i write all sorts. Best one ive ever written would have to be Doctor Who/Torchwood crossover.
But i write; CSI New York, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Harry Potter, Merlin and sometimes Star wars. I've tried to combine all of the above but it's really hard when you have to find parts for all of them or it just seems like they come out of nowhere.
>>26 NewMagicWeaver hi, you've read the Night World books as well? I read them ten years ago when I was 15 and thought they were great :) Although I had convinced myself for some wierd reason that Strange Fate had actually been published eye roll of course that's not till next year (finally) I also watched Buffy I was in to it when everyone else in my year was dismissing it as vampire nonsense until they realised it was more to it than that.
I've only written three fics so far, all for Twilight and they're actually sequels to each other. I would like to write something based on Doctor Who or the Mighty Boosh, or perhaps a Doctor Who/Boosh crossover, now that would be strange. But I can only write one at a time or I get confused so I'll have to wait and see.
EvE Online.
There is even a catagory for it on FFnet.
See if you can find me :P
I like to write in the manga fandoms
CSI(all of them except Miami,sorry I just don't like it)and I LOVE primeval.I rocks my multicoloured socks.
BONES! (ooh, said that too enthusiastically.....)
House mainly, thinking about some CSI or Bones though.
Storm Hawks or House MD for sure.
I have and still am writing fics for:
Bones
Inuyasha
Naruto
Bleach
And I've just started writing some Castle fics
Death Note is what I started with.
I also like writing for Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles because, due to the nature of the series, you can get away with doing a lot in that fandom, and it still not being AU.
I am also writing one story multi-chapter for 'Batman the animated series', and hope to write more in the future.
I am planning on writing for Naruto.
How many of you are tired of getting those "omg diz is so Kaw@11" reviews? What about those "update soon please" reviews? I'm so sick of them. Recently I put in my a/n of a story on FF. Net that I was leaving for the military next week and people are still like "omg can't what for the update!". I' like can you read? That is besides the point. Critics United is a band of people who know how to give a real and honest review that are coming together from different fandoms in order to help authors who want to know what to work on. We love assisting people who would like an honest opinion of their story and not only that, we are accepting members. We need people who are always honest in their reviews even if what they have to say about the story isn't positive. We we never tell you "you suck go die" of course, but some are a little harsher than others. We have a variety of review styles and we just enjoy helping people. Visit my forums on FF. Net (my name is DarkSacredJewelXoX, just search for me in the search engine) if you just want to talk, want someone to review your story, need a beta, or are interested in joining. We're growing by the day xD. My question to you all is: how do you review stories? Do you just say the positives and leave out anything you think might offend the author? Do you give praise when it's deserved and criticism where needed?
Another question: when you find a fic on FF. Net that's breaking the rules, do you report it? Critics United does; however, we review the story to offer advice on how to fix it first and let the author know what rules they are breaking. Sometimes the authors admit their mistakes and change them; other times they author lashes out. When that happens, we do report the story.
>>63 - Not to mention, I looked and saw that one of your reviewers offered to help you with being a Beta Reader for you, to help you with your grammer issues. I suggest having them use the DocX system and finding the places that need corrections and then having you change them yourself, so that you'll learn and grow. Actually, one of my favorite reviewers on my old fanfics reviewed for the story and to help me on my grammer when I first started out. Nolstalgia.
>>66 - Welcome! :)
I'm always fairly honest in my reviews. But, I find, that most authors don't really like that. My review is either ignored, where all the others are replied too, or the author goes on a long diatribe about how and why the story is written like this or this character is acting like that. Which just annoys me. If you have to explain something outside of the story, then just put that in the story.
So, lately, I don't review much. If I do, it's usually just the stories that I like, in which I give positive feedback.
>>68 - I know how that feels really. But I also know, if someone doesn't step up and hold these people to have some sort of standard, they won't ever think to have standards. Actually, some are like, who cares about the rules, treating life as if they can get away with anything. Or... more perhaps along the lines that the internet is NOT part of the real world, when it really is.
>>69 - Yeah, but, some of them get really upset. And, I understand. If you're just writing something for fun, or you're all young and angsty and full of soft mushy spots that are easily bruised, then fine. It's cool, I don't have to critique them. I just wish that they would say, somewhere in the beginning of the story or something, "No negative feedback," or "Not looking for critiques." I can respect that.
But, obviously, they don't. So, then, I do. And, then they get their feelings hurt and I'm left standing there looking like a little baddy. ;o; Poor me, oh, my.
>>69 Many of the newer members who have posted their first FanFic are very susceptible to criticism if you are nice enough about pointing out their mistakes and how to fix them, but there will always be the ones that think their stories are holy pieces that need not be edited at risk of disturbing the balance that makes it so 'amazing.'
Standards need to be set if anyone is to be improved upon.
>>70 I've been blunt and to the point with some writers that are twelve and many of them simply say that they didn't know and start editing it.
Many will put, "No flames." But that leaves room for interpretation, meaning that leaving a critique can set them off for "flaming" their story.
Writing for fun doesn't mean you can't improve upon yourself, and some people are truly too soft when it comes to being criticized in anything they do. You need to learn what you're doing wrong to fix it.
Don't feel bad about 'hurting their feelings.' Many simply overreact or are extremely defensive of their work. Telling them what is wrong with their story is not a crime. You are doing nothing wrong and should feel no remorse in trying to help them.
>>71 You're a very nice lady and/or gentleman. Thank you very much. X3
I have already become somewhat of a critic on fanfiction.net. If I see a good story I tend to leave a good review with helpful hints on what could improve the story even further. I do have a hard time reviewing a bad story simply because I don't really like to be mean and there isn't much nice I could say for the bad story.
>>73 I completely know where you're coming from. Its hard to sit and come up with the nicest way possible to tell the writer they need work and to get them to actually take you're advice, when the story is bad. Something I've found to make it easier to help others is to think about if this were my story, what advice and crit would I listen to the most. I form the review the way i would like to see on one of my stories, the way some great people have done for me and hope that the person will take my crit into consideration.
>>71 I know I can be protective of my own work at times but I think if the reviewer words it as they are giving advice to help strengthen the story and the writer themselves, they will be more open to the information coming in. Rather than many reviewers that I've seen that come along and just tear the story apart and leaving it. If a reviewer can tell the writer what they found wrong, and maybe a suggestion on how to fix it, more writers would listen. Its difficult listening to anyone who rips apart something you've been working hard on. That's just my view on it as the writer.
I feel that being a writer myself and seeing the kind of reviews that help me will help me review on stories I read. It gives me another view other than some people who read and review and only have favorites on their page, never ever written a story before.
Well, since I had a major breakdown with the other host where I lost all of the posts, I guess we are just going to have to start over. I have moved to an other host, and I am going to spend the next few weeks of hard work learning Perl to re-code this to store the posts in a database rather than in .html files as it has been doing before... (and this really is tiresome...) but if this is necessary to prevent another breakdown, I am going to do it!
Anyways, let's just re-introduce ourselves right now. I am Yoshino in the Moonlight, and I have written some fanfiction before, but not so much right now.
Hola! I'm Espanglish... and I'm not Spanish -sobs- but I'm in love with anything to do with Spain (don't ask). You can call me either Grace, Gracia or Grey, I don't really mind and I'm 16 from England... you know, the country that has terrible weather?
I've been on FF.net for a few years now and wrote a few stories but they sucked big time so I took them off and now I have 3 stories up; two for Silent Hill (which are on a long hiatus) and one for Bully which I'm currently writing.
Anyway, its nice to meet you all. I hope I make some mates here!

Whoops, double post. Sorry.
Heyy. I'm DarkXRachel, as it says and I'm Scottish - so naturally I'm from Scotland. I'm 15 and feel free to call me Rachel, Rach or Rae. I've been on fanfiction.net for nearly a year now and I'm in the middle of writing at least three stories but usually there's so much in my head that I lose count. Great to meet you all! :) By the way, Espanglish - don't worry. I have an obsession with Australia, so I know how you feel about Spain!
Hi everyone, my name is Valeska. Pronounced just like it looks, it's not as complicated as most people try to make it haha. I too am from Scotland. Been writing fanfiction since I was about 13, I'm 20 now. Used to be on mediaminer and adultfanfic.net, but now I'm just with good ole fanfiction.net.
I mainly write and read game and anime related stories, FF7 being a favourite. I like anything really, whether it's hetro pairings, yaoi, yuri, OC characters - as long as it's written well, and making me laugh never hurts, I enjoy it :).
hi I'm Cricketpoor or Malin or well what ever nickname you can think of for me,I'm 22 years old. I've been writting forever it seems and tried my hand at getting published.
Still haven't gotten my creative work in print but a couple of articles in a very local paper, of which i'm proud but confused.
My brain seems to have ADD sometimes and my focus is less than stellar, but i do keep up with several books and i do my best to keep up with my fanfics.
I writte a multiple chapter thing in HP right now and i co author a epic story that is rps about the geman band Cinema Bizarre.
I'm swedish but I love to travel when ever I can aford to which is seldome.... As you might see I have a tendesy to rant.
I go by Watcher. I'm English, living in England. Despite not being an adult physically yet, I'm an adult mentally. I'm too mature for my own good, but that's what you get when you live with three other adults and no kids. Pretty freaky, I know, but there we go.
I've been writing Harry Potter FF since I was twelve. It's my one true obsession. Though I'm really shy about posting it on the net, so I mostly keep it to myself. I occasionally RPG here and there, but not often.
I'm nocturnal. I swear it. And very paranoid.
Well, that's all I feel comfortable revealing about myself. Or some crazy stalker might attack me. Paranoia - not fun. ;D
Hello, my name is Laura and I live in Manchester, England.
I'm known as momothelemur on FFN and a few other places. I've been writing fanfic since I was 14, I'm now 17.
My favourite fandom is Avatar, my OTP is Zutara. I actually get kind of offended when people insult my ship...I guess I'm just crazy and pathetic like that :)
I love pretty much any love/hate relationships, including Dramione in the HP Universe. I suppose I'm fascinated by the idea of opposites and balance and the 'oh the drama!' aspect that the pairings bring.
Looking forward to meeting you all :)
I'm known in the fan culture as Indigo, short for Indigo-Typhoon. Which sounds grand but actually hardly anyone knows me.
I love fan works! Fan fiction, fan art, cosplay, role plays, even reading long internet debates.
My most frequently loved fandom is Namco's Tales of Symphonia. I also like Kingdom Hearts, Pokemon, and the others tend to vary over time, but those three are pretty constant.
I am a writhing mass of contradictions (And not ashamed to say I got that line from Suite Life on Deck) My language can swap from highly formal, to lightly kooky. I can be monosyllabic or go off on great long rants. I always try to be polite and honest, but I can be a little dense at times which sometimes makes me blunt. I never try to offend though.
I will defend a pairing if someone challenges me, unless I have no valid reason to do so, but I won't get all het up about it. If it seems like I'm going off on one it's actually just that I use detail to explain my point. When I try to be brief I normally end up leaving things ambiguous.
I have been writing for about 4 years now. I love reading fanfics, watching the origonal shows/animes, and cosplaying.
I have cosplayed Nanao from bleach and I have also created my own costume to be able to cosplay the 2 tailed beast and the 8 tailed beast from Naruto.
My favorite pairings from my favorite shows/anime:
Naruto/Sakura
Sasuke/Ino
Neji/Tenten
Kekashi/Anko
Kiba/Hinata
Shikamaru/Temari
A simple question, which I think can be very useful:
What is it that you like best about fan-fiction?
Best part: unleashing your imagination. You can create about anything you want without limits.
When you see something in the series that gets your mind wondering and being able to put your ideas to paper (or, word processor file). And on top of that, you can share it with people who appreciate it and share your thoughts :)
well i always enjoyed writing but since writing and posting on fanfiction its improved my writing and given me more confidence just from peoples reviews! i also love when other writers give you ideas for stories!
What I like about fanfiction is the fact you can write about anything at all. And it has helped my writing skills.
I think the best part about fanfiction is becoming lost in the imaginary world of the story, reading/writing for enjoyment and discovering news ways to write from other authors without being judged. It's just like you can forget who you are and be whoever who want.
You can practically make the characters do anything you want them too. they could practically grow two heads and it would be allowed because it's fanfiction!
You can even use your feelings/secrets as plots and make your main character go through the things that have happened to yourself. Don't worry I'm not talking about myself unless I have lots of male lovers :/ unfortunately I don't
Darn...
Sorry I'll stop my rant now =]
Much love

I think of fanfiction as a way get rid of the frustration I get when I read the real thing.
Naruto for instance, Naruto's sheer incompetance and inability to grasp things just drives annoys me. So I read fanfiction to see the Naruto world where Naruto is capable of thinking.
Harry Potter is another example, where Harry after 6 years of schooling, and running his own DADA club can't use anything but the same 3 or 4 spells repeatedly, despite running for his life.
Being able to write a story and post it that someone enjoys and reviews. Reviews are a very good thing about Fanfiction as it makes me want to write more :)

That people who don't even know me take time out to read and comment on something that i have created.
There is no reason for them to be nice or biased they just tell you how it is and it usually inspires me to write more :)

I think of as a way to get my feelings out, rather it be from my personal life or caused by the fandom itself. It also allows me to gain experience and try out different writing styles. It helps me grow into a better writer. And even more so when I have people who don't know me, people who don't feel the need to have to tell me that my writing is good, tell me I'm doing a great job. I like the accomplished feeling I get when I bring everything, feelings and thoughts, together and I get praised by strangers for my work.
That has to be the best parts of writing fanfiction.
It is by far the best show I've ever seen.
Back in January this year I was feeling really down, but then I found this show and whala! I am the happy little girl from Berkshire again..
If you have any thoughts and opinions on Bones, please post any comments....share the love for Bones!

Hart Hanson needs to get his priorities straight- and just give everyone want!
Angela and Hodgins want each other,
Brennan and Booth want each other,
And we ALL want them both together!
Here, here!
>>6 thanks!
Love Bones!
Have the first 3 seasons.
Hopefully getting the 4th for chrsitmas, but have seen some of them.
Season 5 is recorded on my virgin box.
So much tension in this show!
>>9 So true!!!!
I used to be obsessed with Bones. I really did. But then the idiots made Zach Gormogon's apprentice and I've never really gotten over it.
Although, I did give last season a good go, but in the end I just gave up. And now here I am.
>>14 Aw....it's a shame you don't like it, this season is pretty good. I HATED it when they got rid of Zach.....but I've moved on.
AAI! :)
Love Bones, really glad they finally got Booth and Brennan together. I'm anxious to see how they are going to make the relationship work with the story line to keep viewers interested. So far, in my opinion at least, season 7 has been pretty great. Fox has put too many hiatus' in this season though. had to wait extra long for it to come back and I would have been okay with the winter break but was it really necessary to take epi 6 and have it several weeks later and then we have to wait again for the rest of the season, just to push Bones fans into the finder? The finder would have done fine on it's own....
Anyway... anxious to see baby Booth!
>>17 Agree can't wait to see how things work with the baby and all, as for the finder.. it really should have done its own thing rather then using bones audience to bring to the show some the ending of season 6 was a little shocking, but made for a very comedic season 7, or what we have seen of it so far
