 | | Wonderful article, well done. I quite agree that it is impossible to link to fanfic due to the content of certain of them. The only point I would like to add is that: compared to 90% of the 'Official' fiction published by the PTB and in canon, fanfic is much better. For example: Babylon 5 books were slow, boring, and possessed no character development What So Ever. A common hazard when you have to stick rigidly to canon and cannot give anything away for the future of the show.
I love fanfic, I couldnt do without it, and I worry what I shall do if i ever get back in to Uni and have to put up with the constraints of their servers. Looks like I'll be spending even more time on h2g2
Thanks for the article
FABT

 | | Most definitely good.
As an avid SG-1 (Stargate) fan who both writes and reads copious amounts of fanfic I enjoyed this article immensley. I will say - I personally do not indugle in Danny-Whumping though I know those who do. Poor kid...
Well done at any rate!
Essbee.

| | Oh but some are most excellent, really good writing if you know where to look for it.
Most of the badly written stuff I have (had the misfortune to) come accross has not been betad. And it is a cliché (but nonetheless true) to say that I never read a fic that has this type of thing in the Author's Notes: "this is for debs and shazz and lemony who got me through maths this afternoon where I was soo bored and down that I just had to write this ficlet" - Enter the Majorly Bad Mary Sue.
aarrrghhhhh

| | Thank you so much for the subtle pat on the back to all beta readers. One of my first questions to any author whose story premise is good, but whose writing 'sucks' is: Was the piece beta-d?
I put a lot of time and effort into my beta work. I have been blessed with writers who appreciate my efforts, for the most part, but there are the odd ones who believe that you are tearing their work apart mearly to be mean and nasty.
You made some valid points, thanks for the ariticle.
Your CMO, Lauretta

| | i have to say as a fanfic writter i tend to bend the character a wee bit to suit my own purposes but most of my stuff fits the romantic comedy thing with SJ pairing naturally, but one of my faves that fits the characters is one called einstien meets newton on Fanfiction.net.
i appologise for the plug but check it out if you fancy a wee read - it's not the best but hey i'm only 18 still got a lifetime to get good!
if your looking for good fics i'd say the best place to find them is trawling through the various stargate FF awards voted by the fans - these give a really good indication as to well written fics as the nominations generally have to have no mistakes and liked by several fans
any way - fab intro and if you ever wanta have a bleather about Sam and Jack or tony blair give me a shout
