Featured Fics

Honestly the featured fics have gone to . I get it if there's a bunch of decent stories but now there's a story of just BaekYeol facts being featured?? I liked looking at the featured stories because I like finding unique and well written stories that I can enjoy reading. I guess it's good for the person who got featured, but it's not even an actual story. I can't read that and though I like BaekYeol I'm not going to sit their and read facts about them. Not only that, but they are always EXO fanfiction. I get that EXO has a big fandom because I'm a fan of EXO and will read their fanfiction but I want to see good stories about other groups/fandoms being featured too. And honestly some of the fanfiction being featured aren't that well written and the plots are a bit original. I'm sure that they are good stories but I want something different that I haven't seen already. Or something that makes me go "wow. that was a great story". But instead I'm looking through these stories, thinking "another one of those?"  I was genuinely surprised to see a B.A.P story featured. But even then the subscribers count seemed to be 1,000 over most of the other featured, and I wondered why it took so much for that to get there. Again, I love B.A.P, but when was the last time you've seen one of their fanfictions featured? 

It's not like anyone will pay attention to this rant, but if you actually read this, thank you. I just wanted to get this off my chest.

Nothing against the featured fanfictions, all of them are of course good otherwise they probably wouldn't have made it there. Congratulations even. I just wish that fanfictions from other fandoms could actually be feqtured sometimes. Of course there's still the occasional SuJu or SNSD fics, but that's it. 

Another rant by me I suppose.

Anyone else wanna share their opinion?

yeah i kinda agree. that's why i have a notebook that lists all the quality fanfics i've read. aff's got a lot of useless fanfics to be honest (I authored a few, lol.)

well, if people actually supported those other fics, they might have chances to be featured, but people on aff mostly like to show support to popular ones. or else why do many just bothered about featured fics instead of digging around to find hidden gems? there are lots. but many like to be silent readers when it comes to unpopular fics/authors even if they like them....when they don't hesitate to comment n upvote n subscribe and all that with popular ones. it all depends on readers' support. what you see featured time n again...shows what the majority of readers in aff want to show their support on...simple as that.
personally...i won't bother featured fics most time...i get thrills from looking for fics with no comments at all or a few, and then try to see for myself if they're that bad or if they deserve some support...but lately i hardly read anything anymore so yeah...
