on judging the quality of fanfiction
Aug. 15th, 2006 01:39 amThere's a lot of really good fic out there that just isn't, to me, good enough. I mean, fantastic stories, good premises, pacing fine, plot works well, jokes are funny, smut is hot, etc. -- it can all be there, but still not be good enough if the voices are wrong. Recently, while reading fic for The Sentinel, I stumbled across fic for due South and was distracted quite effectively for quite some time.
