Did you know fanfiction.net currently holds over 11,000 BTR fics? That is so much fanfiction. When you're used to reading fic on livejournal and then find out your new fandom uses a site other than lj for most of its fic, it can be jarring. Especially when that site is fanfiction.net. To an outsider, that place can seem like a portal to hell where

Do you read fic on fanfiction.net? I used to when I first discovered fanfiction in 2005, 2006 or something. It's where I found my first slash fic and where I first started posting my own fics... but I haven't been there much since then. It's just so hard to find the good fics, and I usually just don't want to waste my time going through tons of bad!fic to get to the good ones. The only way I would voluntarily read a fic on ff.net would be if someone rec'ed one - and I guess that's the purpose of this fic, so... maybe I will get back to reading fics there! :D

What about that site appeals to you over livejournal? Nothing. You're technically not supposed to post NC-17 stuff, you can't post RPF/RPS to it... what's the point of that site? :P I'll keep posting my fics to my LJ and AO3 account.

Do you have an account there? Yup. Rarely use it, though, because it always fucks up my formatting >:C

Do you post your own BTR fic there? I haven't written anything BTR yet, so... nope. :)

Do you read all the badfic and laugh quietly to yourself?

Yeah my experience has been that all of the good authors over there *cough Cassie cough* are over here too! Lol so why waste my time burning my eyes out with their/ they're/ there errors?

[thilia]

Exactly!! :D The first BTR fics I read were on AO3, and even there, I had to stop reading a few cause they were just... yeah. Not very good. But then I discovered a few authors over there, discovered more HERE, so... who needs ff.net? XD
I'd only go to ff.net if someone rec'ed a fic... but even with recs, I'm usually a little sceptical. :D

HAI! *waves* :D TH fans are everywhere *g*

Yeahhh... especially when you find an author who's written many good fics, you want to read all of them and... yeah. The TH fandom has many of those :D *nods*

[fairygrrl45]

Also a fan! Of TH. I went through a hardcore phase at one point. I adore bill. But I went onto the fiction site and always have trout le finding good related kaulitz fic. ?????

[thilia]

Ooooh, seriouslyyyy? D: Well, I guess there is also some unreadable stuff on that site... *nods* Well, if you want any recs, let me know :D I know a few authors that are amazing. <3

[fairygrrl45]

They would be much appreciated whenever you get the chance dear! No rush. Just pm me when you can.

[thilia]

Sure! I'll look at my old favourites and there should definitely be a few you'll like :D What pairing? Tom/Bill? Related? Unrelated? Both? Other pairings? XD

[fairygrrl45]

Tom/bill related...don't judge me. Lol

[thilia]

LOL Of course not ;) I've read it, I've written it... I don't judge. :D

*considers self-pimping too* LOL

It still amuses me that Tokio Hotel is so popular in the US...I don't know why, I still remember when they first started out with "Through the Monsoon" and you couldn't turn on the radio or TV without stumbling over the music video. It kinda annoyed me to be honest, so I must admit to be greatful they live so far away now XD

[thilia]

LOL I remember that time; you couldn't turn on Viva or Mtv without seeing them. I did like Durch den Monsun, but I refused to like THEM for a long time cause the fans were all 13 and scary, but a few years later, I still ended up in the fandom XD

[deadpetsparky]

Hahahaha "Durch den Monsun" was really catchy, I must admit to that.

"Du musst durch den Monsun
Hinter die Welt..."

I don't remember more of the lyrics but yeah, good times.^^

I agree about the fans, these girls were really creepy.
