I'm glad you know my pain, sob. It's awful! Part of the problem is, there are SO MANY fanfictions out there, and because there is such a high volume, it's hard to find the good ones. But there are good ones! I promise! Hahaha.
A lot of the writers do seem to be kind of young... And I guess I can't really blame them for writing, and writing badly, because everyone needs to start somewhere, and I was exactly like that when I was twelve. (I wrote lots of Digimon fanfiction and it was all terrible, heh). I just... wish it was easier to find things that I want to read.
Though it isn't bad mechanics that bother me so much... it's characterization. I have run into so many fics where the writing is technically fine but it seems like they haven't even read the comics. Especially when it comes to Denmark, oh gods. But ffff that is a long rant....
Anyway. Re: Iron Maiden, they're a metal band, heh, it's not really the kind of music you like, I think... but if you're curious The Clairvoyant and Fear of the Dark are my favourites.
Come to think of it, I was going to do a big long music rec list at one point. I completely forgot about it until now. :Va
