Writers on Asian Fan Fic
****warning, this is going to be a rant!****
I admit, I’m not a popular author and I haven’t made a name for myself yet so I get that I don’t have the right to say such thing but honestly this issue keeps burdening me. This issue isn’t really an issue; I don’t exactly know what to call it so let’s just say an “issue”. It may not interfere with most readers on the site, but I thought I must blog about this and vent my fustration. As an author I have a different way’s of writing, and I respect everyone’s work and stories. But there’s always that one story that turns you off when you read the first few paragraphs of the story.
Please don’t tell me I’m the only one who feels this way; that stops reading a fic because it is badly written. I know it’s mean but there’s nothing we can do about it that makes us want to read, we can’t compel to our likings. But I want to describe the type of stories I hate and prevent me from reading further on, that make me want to close the tab, such as;
- How quickly settings are changed; So last night I finished an amazing fan fic the type that makes me change the perspectives of the idols in the story. Then this morning I started to read another fic and I stopped before I could read the next chapter. For example; the main character went from living in America, to transferring to Korea. It’s like yeah sure that’s the plot of the story, that’s how they are ment to meet the love of their lives. However, in this particular fic the father told his daughter she is moving to America to Korea, and the plane is in an hour. LIKE WTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTF?!?!?!?!??!?! An hour???????? Like the main character is ment to drop her whole life in America and move to Korea so soon? Like isn’t that too soon? An hour? A bit not realistic isn’t it? I don’t get how people like this?
-The second thing I hate is how unrealistic things are; I can’t explain what it is, or the exact word for it but I guess but take this as an example; I was reading a fic ages ago when in the fic the main character and her best friend (they are rich by the way) went to the mall to shop. But they went through this secret passage way where only rich people go in, and to get in you have to use a pass. I don’t know what it has about it, but it annoys me! Like there’s something wrong with that and I just can’t put my finger on it. It’s not just this but there are different unrealistic things. Some unrealistic things are ment to happen to a fic, like it’s just a story its just a fiction but there’s definitely something wrong with what I just pointed out and I can’t put my finger on it.
-Last and for most; it’s not really a rant about other fics but more about me. I just forgot what my last rant is and decided to write something completely different. I always wanted to see if people actually hate this, something I always wanted to see. But don’t you hate starting a new fic all over again. Because you just finished an amazing fic and you know for sure it won’t be as good as the last fic but you read it because you have read the good comments below. Or because you just can’t be bothered reading how the two characters hate each other, you just want to skip to the characters getting together in the end. Is it just me or do you feel the same? Please don’t make me look crazy here hahahahah.
So overall, I have read a lot of stories that have me at the edge of my feet throughout the story. There are also stories where I have read the first chapter and gone, “nup, don’t like it”. I know most of what I said is about “realism” and I know this is all meant to be fiction, but there is something about that makes me cringe. Some readers go to the certain extent when it comes to unrealistic views. I personally think this is just me who thinks like this, as we all know everyone is different. And every story will have people that will like their fic or not, so you personally may think differently from me. Which I honestly find weird, but you may find me weird. Personally I like fan fics that are realistic, that are well written and have a different story line from others. I love it how the author goes in depth with their description, I love it how they get so lost into their own description!
Anyways that’s my rant, I had to rant this out, so sorry! But please, please tell me what you think, what you think of some writers on this site, are they being board, or you actually enjoy reading those kind of fics?
