Time For A Fanfic Rant...

Not-so-Dear Secret Garden Badfic,

There are a little over 100 stories in the Secret Garden section at FFN.

… I was under the impression that the smaller the fandom, the higher the quality of it’s stories.

I guess I’ve been spoiled by the Dark is Rising fandom, the How I Met Your Mother fandom, and particularly, by the brilliance of most of

Every time I think I understand people, I am again surprised. (And every time I think I couldn't love you more, hun, you prove me wrong <3333)

DiR does spoil us, I agree. That fandom is incredible, even though it's small. But I'm crushed to hear that SG doesn't have good fics. :( And that A Little Princess only has 3!!! D: Those are two of my favorite books, so I'm highly disappointing.

And WHAT??? Mary is NOT a spineless crybaby, nor is Dickon emo, or Colin the devil's spawn. FREAK. I'm all for Dickon/Mary- but I totally agree, Colin would kick butt for anyone that tried to wreck that for those two for sure!! They're his best friends for crying out loud!

I never hated Colin- he annoyed me, but at the same time I felt a whole lot for him. The kid had a tragic life, it was horrible. I can't blame him for being such a brat, I would have been too! *protects Colin*

Dude, this totally makes me want to write some GOOD fics for LP, and SG. And oh no- I thought of a crossover pairing for the two- check this, Sarah/Colin. O.o *tries to resist the plot bunnies*

I’ve never been picky about ‘who Mary must end up with’-either Colin or Dickon is fine by me(cousins marrying was acceptable back then). But I hate when fic writers have to roll over a character in the process. :/

Rrrrr. Three fics out of five I clicked, and Mary was wibbling in the first or second chapters. What. She cried only twice in the book-and it was out of tantrum-y or righteous anger. XD

Anything that bothers me about Colin always goes away whenever I read the ‘Curtain’ chapter. And the ‘Let them Laugh’ chapter. Just, d’awwww. <3

There are some well-written ones scattered here and there, although to be honest, I find a lot of them too saccharine/lovey-dovey. This sad but lovely one is currently my favorite(I love teh angst, what can I say). Ahhh, goodfic!

The love, it goes both ways<3

AND WUT, YOU READ MY MIND.
Seriously! I’ve been considering Colin/Sara for the longest time now! They neeeeed to find each other and make Magic together. Plus, Rajah/Princess? Perfect! *sets rabid bunnies on you*
