Fanfictions Overtaking

I honestly feel that many people have come to a point where we like the characters in fanfictions more than what we value our artists.

I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way, but it seems as though I am more involved in the updates of the stories of the girls rather than the girls' actual schedule itself. No doubt these stories were first from them, but people have developed their character so much in fanfictions that we read that we actually tend to believe that these characterisations are real... And it's actually scary, I feel.

No doubt people might argue that they have written stories the way they think that the girls will react in the same sort of situation. But to me, I feel that most of these characterisations are fake (ie they are just behaving how they ought to in public) and who knows what they would actually do in the dorm or at home?

So we're actually basing how they will behave in the dorm based on the fics depicting their lifestyle?

And then it comes to the idea of genderbender. I mean the idea is nice, where our bias gets paired up with some other bias that we know, and it seems a little bit more normal (I'M NOT BEING A HOMOPHOBIC GUYS, I MEAN I DO WRITE JETI GIRLXGIRL STORIES). But we seem to feel happiness from the fact that our bias has a lovely husband/boyfriend?

I don't know really. I just feel I'm getting out of touch with the real stuff and more involved in the secondary product rather than the primary product which is odd since the root is still our girls. It's like reading just another story book, really. Rather than knowing the real characters.

Okay, after this whole blog post, I don't really know what my main point is but I'm just writing what I was feeling about fanfictions. Maybe some of you will know exactly how I'm feeling?

Let me know what you guys think about it? HEH

well, generally speaking...i know what you mean...fanfics(especially when written so nicely) can itself into your brain n system...lol. i'm often into the beautiful world of fiction, though i don't read fics that are too fluffy/too angst bordering unrealistic, n prefer fics where the characters feel human. i guess, the only way to make fanfic characters not deceivingly perfect is...to make the characters as imperfect/realistic/human as possible, i mean that's what i strive to do all the time, imagine myself in the characters' feelings/minds in addition to the idol's characteristics themselves.....but even that doesn't justify how true/close they're to the 'real' reality. well, i guess that's fiction for 'ya....it's the same in nonfanfiction world...only problem is...fanfictions are based on real people....that made all the confusion...n i don't mind gay/lesbian stories straight up...genderbender is just too weird for me...hahah. guess i just lack imagination.
well, i don't know what's the point i'm trying to make with this comment too, i guess. lol.
