i think it became slow because of all the members and all the fics that are up... i lasted in that situation with the slow computer and all for 5 years. haha...

Hmmm... I love Fanfiction, and yet I hate it.
It's obvious when people are only writing for reviews. I write for reviews half and half. When you don't get reviews, it does get you down, because then it feels like no one likes it, and that, in turn makes you feel worthless.
Fanfiction can be really good sometimes. Because it's not published officially, there's no rules for the set out, and no restrictions on page number. My favourite fanfiction author, StarDragon, is a good example of this. Her fic's probably wouldn't be half as good if subjected to the layout of books, as she paragraphs them in such a way. (Go and read them! They're really funny!)
But that also means that people can get away with anything. I can't remember the link, but I once came across a LOTR story, that had 150 reviews. All of them were flames and "OMG! IS THIS A JOKE?!" sort of things. It was THAT bad.
I hate the people who just say, "Good story. Update soon." It's very irritating, when that's all they can say. I get them far more then I'd like to, as I'm sure everybody does. When your beginning a story, you think "Yay! Someone likes me!" But, after a while, it's sort of depressing. I try to review with as much content as possible, unless I'm severly lazy that day.
Flamers. We all hate them. I'm writing a Hp/CCS fic at the moment, and I got a flame saying... Hang on, let me go find it.
"ANONYMOUS (GHJCBSDANJKV@PLEASEME.COM) NEVER! EVER! MIX HARRY POTTER AND CCS! HOW DARE U EVEN THINK OF MIXING THEM! HP AND CCS ARE UNIQUE NOT TO BE MIXED!! "
Okay okay, so not really a flame, but it sure as hell pissed me off. I'd have much rather they tell me that I didn't have enough description then that. How do they expect me to fix my story up if that's the only critism I get? Honestly. People like that annoy me. If they don't like the subject I've chosen for a story, why do they yell at me? I'm not out there to tend to their every wim. I can't even go and yell at THEM, as I sincerly doubt that's their email.
Relatity check, bub. Plently of other people have done it.
But really. It's like going into the, say, Tamora Pierce section, and flaming all the authors there because they like Tamora Pierce. It's stupid, pointless, and shows a deep lack of knowledge of how the world works.
Flame me on something substantional, bub.
Right. I'm ranted out. Ta.

"ANONYMOUS (GHJCBSDANJKV@PLEASEME.COM) NEVER! EVER! MIX HARRY POTTER AND CCS! HOW DARE U EVEN THINK OF MIXING THEM! HP AND CCS ARE UNIQUE NOT TO BE MIXED!! "Well....I don't know how to react to THAT. ;D That is so...biased. That's not even a review....or a flame. Hey, I can mix Lord Of The Rings and CCS if I want to anytime. Or maybe Chuckie (wanna ppppplay Sakura???) and CCS. That would be greaaaat.... ;D

;D I'm a new author (?) at ff.net ^-^ yes, I agree that some people write for reviews only. They make it like a competition or something.... I was very new, (joined 8th april ^^) and I didn't know a thing about ff.net and the writers and reviewers.... but I posted up some of my weird/stupid stories ^^;;;; and the very first review....er....flame I got was 'Was that supposed to be funny?'. And my story was supposed to be a humor fic. *cries* For the first few days, I never got any good review encouraging me to write, and I was disappointed because I thought no one even noticed my stories. Well, now I'm getting more ideas for the stories and I've decided to continue writing.... I know, my English is still not good enough (my 4th yr in English), so I can't really give much advise on their writing, so all I can say were how they could do the spacing, where they used a Jap. word incorrectly, etc. I was really pissed when I got lots of flames, written by one person. They posted so many I had to delete the story altogether, since only one review can be deleted at a time.... ahhh.... X( I'm talking too much now so I'll stop here.... anyway, what I want to say is that flamers are so annoying!!!! And I think there are too many flamers on FF.net.... *sigh*

forget all those flamers... if you want to mix hp and ccs then you can do that... its a sense of originality and how well you can mix those two together... i admire authors that take two things, in this case hp and ccs, and are able to make something that makes sense.. its more creative to me ^^ and when you see a flamer jus send them a mental message, screw you, and delete their review... i usually do that.

Silva: well, as you read in my reviews for your fic, i like it. this is bcoz, believe me, the way you wrote it sort of offsets the fact that they are, in fact, different. (anime/book) after all, you explained about the witch and sorcery thing (u know what i'm talking about, right? XD) and why they were sent there in the first place. you accounted reasons for all that! (unlike some other crossovers...) by the way, i was browsing through my old fics. (the reviews, anyway) and i came across your name! i couldn't believe it! you were the one who said "never mock the fish! fish are cool!" i was so surprised! did you know that that one review never left my mind bcoz i found it really funny!? but i didn't realize it was you! XD WOAH! small internet world! masami: i understand how you must have felt! hey, is masami your ffnet pen name? id like to read your fics when i have the time. ^_^ flamers... i hate it when they don't point out what's wrong with your fic! someone anonymous named "ginger" told me my fic was bad. i'm not sure whether she meant that it was a badly written story or simply bad bcoz i made S+S BOTH die. ^^;; another one, for another fic, told me "That was not right, what was the whole point?" hmmm... i sense disappointment in this one, but then that was the whole purpose of that fic in the first place! ;P wehehe... ;D

some people can get crazy... i mentioned that i might kill both of them in one of my author's note and some people emailed me threatening me if i killed them they would never review again... or something to that extent.. crazy!! haha... but it works out i couldn't kill them... it would've jus made my fic fall flat... must write a death fic one day soon tho ^^

oh yeah, i know about those threatening reviews! XD if you do this, i'll kill you and stuff like that. ;D there's this one 'threat' that i found amusing. it was from firey-chan and it goes like this: "WAIII! Syaoran-kun? Where is he? Where is Syaoran! Sakura find him! Oh find him! HE CAN NOT DIE! IF HE DIES I WILL MAKE MAD GOATS EAT YOUR PANTS...And all of your socks HA!*glares* *smiles* But its a very good story! onegai! Please continue and update soon. But remember...heed my warning!
NEXT CHAPPIE NEXT CHAPPIE! HURRY HURRY! ~Firey"
cute, ne? i found it really amusing! ;D
yes... death fic good... happy fic bad... ^^ well, when you do decide to write one, tell me! i'd sure like to read it! ^___________^

To Fibby-san: *Eyes bug out* Oh God... I remember writting that. I was in such a random mood then... *Drops head in hands* Oh god... *Twitches* It's all coming back! All of it! They're after me! Well I'll show them! Hehehehehehee *Is promptly dragged off stage by men in white coats and sedated.*
Has anyone else here been REALLY tempted to flame someone though? I have, but it's ussually when someone thinks the fic is great, and it's crap. Particularly if it has a crapload of reviews and no talent or anything? I know i's mean, but I sometimes (Very rarely) get this urge to just yell at them. Of course, that could be jealousy as it doesn't happen anymore.
Hmmm... Yes.
You know the cute little icons they had on the front page ages ago? A little while ago (A couple of weeks maybe) They brought them back, and this was my reaction:
Silva: *Stares blankly at screen, shrieks and goes to hug dog*
Yes...
But now they're gone! Gone I tell you!
...
Or our internet hates me again.
Gotta go. Chairing tonight.
Ta.
