omg i read contemporary short stories

Dec 08, 2005 09:29

I actually just realized that I *do* read a fair deal of modern contemporary fiction.

It's just that it's fanfiction. :O

Despite the fact that it's HP fandom, they could often stand alone quite nicely as original stories. Someone should write about this. (Okay, so they probably have, but someone could write about it AGAIN, or a different aspect of it, or with a different spin.) All this amateur fiction, in communities with avid readers who give feedback, many of whom also create or edit that same fiction. On teh internet.

Imperfect things, bits of overflorid prose, unclear moments, unnecessary moments. But also moments of beauty, clarity, and insight.

That reminds me, I intend for TTC to offer writing criticism.

I rather liked this one.
