Fanfics Nowadays...

K-Pop Ruined My Life...Or Did It? (All My K-Pop Ranting)

When I search up the "Myungsoo" tag here on aff, I get many fanfics that could use a lot of work.

I'm not trying to offend anyone, and I'm not saying that I could write any better, but really?

There's a lot of fanfics out there, too, and I feel like I can't find any clean, decent fanfics that have proper grammar, spelling, etc. Why can't I?

Maybe, I'm not looking hard enough. I'm just getting so frustrated because I want to read something that suits my taste. Maybe I'm picky. Even the featured stories aren't the greatest. Sure, they are interesting and popular, but to be featured? Eh. I know, I know, I know.

They're just fanfics, right?

But that's just it! I want to read a fanfic that fulfills my imaginations with these idols nicely...if you know what I mean. I have less than 100 subscriptions and most of them are already complete.

I'll look through the latest updated or the completed ones and a lot of stories do not catch my eye.

What I always end up seeing is just ...THE KINGKA FALLS IN LOVE WITH A NERD LIKE ME...ARRANGED MARRIAGE...I'M A TRAINEE AT __ ENTERTAINMENT AND ____ FALLS IN LOVE WITH ME? What? Whaaat? WHAAAT? Uh, what? And when I click them, sometimes I'll be able to see how many people have subscribed and...uh, the story has a lot of subscribers! Um, it's...surprising.

It's your choice to subscribe and it's your choice to read what you want, but personally, I would rather like something maybe more realistic? Maybe more original? I know, if you look through my stories, I'm being a hypocrite, but I like to read fanfics myself, too!

I don't know what goes through aff readers minds when they're looking for stories. 

I'm sorry if there are people who think otherwise and think I'm being unfair, but this is my opinion. I want to find some fanfics that are, like, hidden gems, but I seriously am not looking hard enough, I guess.

I'm big on the SM groups so I don't really know much about Infinite but I fell in LOVE with 'The Chaser' :) I can't tell them apart *sorriez!*

But I get what you mean about the sad part. I've only been into kpop for two years (2010) and when I go back to the earlier kpop days where my Super Junior debuted (2005) I start to almost cry. Their image was so...different and a lot of the members have left since those times.

When I WATCH a kpop video I feel like I'm really close to my boys >_< let's face it (they don't get much screen time in America) LOL

I've watched SHINee's Hello Baby and Yunhanam (the ONLY two shows that had SHINee as a whole), and I've seen several variety shows with Super Junior. They make me laugh and I feel like getting to know them better because they all seem so unique.

~I thank you for making this <3

Yeah I know. I'm surprised Taemin debuted when he was FOURTEEN. Oh my gosh. Back in the replay days when Yunhanam was still running I remember him LOOKING a little bit more mature for his age (I thought Taeminnie was 18 like everyone else) LOL. I don't know. maybe it's just me. XP When I go back and watch Replay (2008)I see puberty has taken it's fine course on baby Taemin and has made him a real man. :) I'm so proud of him <3

I like Zayne Malik like a lot. He looks way exotic and I see his videos on the 1D channel where he sings sometimes and makes covers, I think he has such a smooth awesome voice. He's really talented.

TEUKIE AND CHRIS HEMSWORTH?! LOL well you know, Leeteuk is on the verge of the big 3-0 and he still looks mega fine ;) I want him to make a baby though (I know that sounds wrong) but I feel that fatherhood is slowly ticking away on his clock. Is he even dating? I don't think so...

I just want you to know that I am very sorry I'm spamming this story with my comments LOL.

anyways, YEAH. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. It's the same with me also, dude I have like 9 SUBSCRIPTIONS. N-I-N-E. and you claim to have less than 100?! O_o LOL My problem is very similar to yours, I don't want to offend anybody but there are some badly written fanfics out there that need help in grammer, spelling, and editing. Now, I'm not saying I can do better (my fanfics aren't all that perfect either) but you know, I'd like to have a fic that can fulfill my imaginitive desires :) haha.

ANOTHER thing that bugs me is when someone has an amazing foreword and description and then all of a sudden the story is a mess. The paragraphs are quite un-understandable and that kind.

But you know, this site (like many others) are clearly international, therefore we have people that barely speak any English at all so I applaud them for being brave and trying <3 YAY!!

Thank you for writing this

Same. When I first got into Suju I was viewing these music videos of people commenting things like "My bias this...fishy my bias...baby you're so cute that's why you're my bias..." I was like O_o?? When I figured out what it meant, I immediately found my own biases. From all the idol groups I know,

Super Junior: First it was Kyuhyun, then the visual Siwon caught my eye (his personality is beautiful), and then it turned to Ryeowook (for like 2 days, I don't even know LOL), and then finally Donghae. It's been Donghae for quite awhile now, I don't think it's going to change LOL

SHINee: First it was Minho. Have you seen those eyes?! They can melt anyone's heart from a trillion miles away, and then it turned into Key. Key's diva attitude and sweet smile and how much he cares for his baby Taeminnie and husband Jonghyun...yeah it's all downhill from there

SNSD/Girls Generation: Sooyoung. Sooyoung period. She's gorgeous and needs more recognition.

You just inspired me to blog about my first kpop experience :D Well, your story was pretty cool and what an epic friend you have. My friends know exactly ZERO ZERO about kpop and Super Junior and all that, but it's probably because I live in the states. I live in the WRONG PLACE.

Yay this seems fun!! Kpop...whether positive or negative DID infuence my life in some way. LOL why would I be sitting here writing about stories about Super Junior if they hadn't infuenced my daily basis in a way?! LOL I can't wait for your update author-shi
