Ugh. (A Rant.)

I check out ff.net for some new stories the other day.

Sadly, there were either crappy yaoi fics, crappy [characterxOC] fics, and, for some reason, the script for the abridged series. That crosses the line from fan fiction to plagiarism, I think.

Is it too much to ask for original fan fiction? (Don't be a smart ass, I know by the fact that's it's

I've noticed the same thing, and it pisses me off so badly. Years ago, yaoi writers were actually some of the best ones, and for some reason, it wasn't nearly as rampant as it is now--truth be told, I read so many good yaoi stories back then (even before I was willing to admit how much I enjoyed them) that it's partly what got me so into yaoi in the first place. But now? You have more yaoi than het stories, and while I have absolutely nothing against yaoi at all (dur), I wish that the immature middle school writers would stop doing it. They make the rest of us who actually take it more seriously look like the same morons

It scares me when people have given me reviews such as THIS IS THEE MOST AHMMAZING YAOIFANFIC EVERWRITTEN BY ANY HUMAN!" or something. Note: the link is actually something someone wrote. YEAH. O_O

Now don't get me wrong, I'm always extremely happy when I get wonderful reviews. I'm not at all complaining about that. I'm not a horrible writer by any means, I'd like to believe, but I think there's far more accomplished yaoi writers on the Pit than me. It makes me worry when almost every reviewer has to point out that I actually gave my story a plot and some emotions, that I actually tried to write it well, and that this is such a different thing from other yaoi stories. I mean, how many awful fics have they read if mine seems professional? Because, trust me, it's not awful, but I still have a lot of work to do before it's professional.
