Fan-Fucktion

[arpad]

During some old USSR-USA TV show, a woman told a famous line "There are no sex in USSR". I tell you - after reading what they call a fanfic, I definitely have nostalgia surge. Looks like the "genre" is limited to, err, relationships between Red-Hat-Girl and the Wolf, Harry Potter and Drako Malfoy, Dart Vader and Frodo and so on ad infinitum.

There are no story, no new characters, no adventures, no effects. Fantasy promptly stops at homosecsual orgy of orcs and elves.

****

Yes, presious, these stinky books are obsolete. We should crawl under the mountains of doom millions-dollar-cost-production and see what we can do with these computer games instead.

Hey, if you don't like it, don't read it, it's as simple as that!

As usual, there is a lot of bad writing aroung there and a much lesser amount of a good one. But it exists, I assure you. But if you're irked with the genre, see line one.

A fact that there is multitude of sugary-sperm filled romantic stories (and in het more than in slash, just go to Borders and see for yourself) doesn't mean we can judge all genre as unworthy. I'm going banal here, but it's because I'm tired to hear the same one all over again. I assure you that your complain don't hold any difference from some medieval writer's who complained about very much the same thing some 500 years ago.

Nothing is new under the sun.

No, I am not THAT serious

I know :) I am just in a cursing mood.

And there is something new under the sun. Actually, this "ворчалка" was written mainly for its last paragraph.

Ah, well. I'm not into computer games. But I'm very much in fan-fic.
