About time! Haha. Let's see what Fanfic commandments I've broken... Ah, number 8; admittedly Potential went rather fast as far as the relationships go. But I'll do better next time. :nods solemnly: As for number 10, generally I agree, but AUs change a person's situation, so I give a bit of OOC leeway, but nothing ridiculous.
The shonen-ai commandments made me laugh. I think these should be one of those must-agree-to-so-you-can-registar things. Haha. Especially holding a fic hostage for reviews. It's one thing to require at least one review to update, another to demand whole damn lot of them.
well then *pats you* anyway, i still agree on them that even though its an AU, its not an excuse to make the character OOCs. and it pertains to the abusive AU fics that are bleeding of OOCs.
heck yes. i did laugh too, in a sense of hell yeah, you're right. i understand what the authors feel about their stories and the need to review. heck, i feel it too, but then again, its bad to take your next chapter as a hostage just to make the readers review your work.
I think there should be 10 commandments for reviewing. Like, not JUST saying 'update'.
I've read such HORRID AU fanfics. I don't mind it when Sasuke isn't angst like mad, but making him cheerful? And sociable? :shudder: The only OOC that I don't mind is HyperAndNice!Itachi. Simply because it's so damn funny. But my favorite kind of Itachi is the 'stoic with a soft spot for his brother' kind. Because it's rather sweet.
Oooh, I colored Kimimaro all by myself. I have near-nonexistant skills in computer art. XD
LOL. those kind of reviews annoy me. like you're some kind of fanfic factory to push on and on whenever they want a story. geez. have a life, people. the writers do.
a cheerful and sociable sasuke is not sasuke. unless that's the uber-uke!sasuke before the massacre happened. but i still doubt that sasuke is still angst-free even without the severe trauma. he is kishimoto's favourite chew toy, after all. we need to comply with the authors preference. the only OOC that i've read and tolerated is the big badmischievous brother itachi because i think that it quite nostalgic of the happy uchiha family past.
i go 'damn, i wanna read it' when i see i take an interest in one of your thai fics and simply cant read it because i dont know even a bit of your alphabet XD
Now what needs to be done is the fan-readers ten commandments. Like: "Thou shalt not leave reviews with only the word "update" as an acceptable response to a fic," and "Thou shalt not read stories with things you don't like in it (yaoi, shonen-ai, etc) and then flame the author because you disagree with that particular subject manner."
but seriously, if they hate the story why read it and bitch all over at the poor author who is just catering at the 'right' fans? geez.
It's funny how thinking logically makes things so clear and yet these people who go out of their way to be asses and flame people who write things that they don't approve of. It makes absolutely no sense in any logical way in any part of the universe.
Though, I'm still contemplating over the "excessive bleeding" commandment. I'm almost scared to ask how that comes into play.
well you still gotta give them credit since they bother to click the link and read over the story and type their hateful words of destructive criticism.
i was actually waiting for my story to be reviewed like that so i could thank the person properly and personally. and i gotta stop being sarcastic, yeah

While I agree with you, I'd like to point out that if you look at a lot of Japanese doujinshi and hentai, you'll notice that often they will make one of the male characters to be that typical "weeping uke." I'm not saying fanfics should continue that tradition (especially with Naruto...how the hell anyone can put him into that type of box, I have no clue!), but there is some grounds for its existence.
I just have to wonder where logic goes when fanfics are being written--or maybe part of being a fanfic writer is that you can't be logical. But then, there are some who do very well for themselves without bending logic, so who knows.

I don't see how Naruto can be made into that either.
