Most Likely Offensive Rant
This rant is probably going to be offensive, so if you start reading and have a problem, then stop. I don't want to see any comments of 'I hate you because you said blah blah blah', got it? I just need to rant...<<
Okay, so, this wasn't exactly caused by my dear friend ladywilde80's rant, but it's one of the reasons. This has been burning inside of me for a very very long time. When I'm talking about this fandom, I'm mostly talking about the Mylar fandom, just so people realize this (Though it is true for others, I know that..) Anyways...We have some GREAT writers here! In fact, this fandom has some of the best fics I've ever read. Most are not cliche and boring, and it's a nice change from the other fandoms I've attempted to get into for a while.
And we have some of the best authors I've ever seen. Most authors are very supportive of others, but many of the 'bigger' authors are not at all supportive. Many are conceited and do not bother to try and keep others writing. If they could only realize the power they have and get their heads out of their asses and comment on other peoples fics, we could have even more great authors out there! I mean, just imagine getting a comment from one of your favorite fic authors, wouldn't it just fill you with so much confidence and just plain joy?! It'd make one a better writer and give them hope that they're not sucky writers, wouldn't it? Sure, most any comment helps to do that, all I'm saying is if these better authors would just take the time to read and comment a bit, it'd raise the moral. I know this isn't war or anything, but you all know what I mean.
I don't mean to point fingers, but I have GOT to get this out before I explode..WARNING THIS IS VERY VERY OFFENSIVE TO MOST MEMBERS OF THE MYLAR FANDOM. I would make you highlight this, but, I just don't care..so read or not. ><

cerebel annoys the fucking SHIT out of me! Yes, she's a damned good writer! But Jesus Christ, you're not GOD! Posting things on your Community journal where people can ask you questions because you're such a wonderful writer, it makes me sick! SICK! If people want to ask you questions, let them do so, don't open yourself up to praise, it's just desperate and sort of pathetic. And so many fucking awards, Fuck, let someone ELSE get some credit! We all know you're good, now back down off your fucking pedestal and let someone else get some fame, because other authors deserve it! And I'm sorry, the ending to Gravity just...*twitch* It was shitty. It could have been so much better. I mean, what the hell, a sonic fucking boom and suddenly Mohinder gets Sylar's powers?...WTF She could have explained it! And then she posts something about how people can ask her questions..if you didn't explain the ending good enough that people were satisfied then it's not very good, is it? >< I mean, it was excellent in the beginning, I'm not saying I'm not a fan of the writing, but that ending just disappointed me. I expected so much more!
I used to comment on everything that girl posted, praising her fics to no end, until I looked around and noticed she didn't support anyone else but her personal friends. I think that's just utter crap. What makes a good author is not only their writing, but that they give support to other writers. She did not do that. And she has so much pull in this fandom, she could pull a lot of great writers up from the depths if she just showed some fuckin' support and commented once in a while instead of spending her time replying to comments of 'omfg, I love you, why are you so amazing?!'
I am NOT saying she's not a good writer, because she is, but God...why can't she use her great power to endorse others?! It would make this fandom a better place. And she's NOT the only one, though, there really aren't many authors out there in this fandom that do what I'm complaining about. All in all, this is a great, great, great fandom to be in, don't get me wrong...

By the way, I do understand that time is an issue with many people and situations vary greatly, I'm just saying my opinion.
Okay, now that I've finally said that..I think I'm done here. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, I don't exactly mean to, I just needed to rant...Thanks.
If you don't want to read this probably offensive rant, know I am still sick I just needed to rant and now my head is killing me so I will be catching up on drabbles/fics and comments later!
