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.

Poor naive baby. You still believe in education level of your average fellow citizen? :)

Player driven content, my fat ass! And how, pray tell me, it differs from bad fanfic?

(although I wholeheartedly agree about the obsoletness of traditional paper books)

Not at all. It is exactly that.

But opportunity that I see in electronic games is building a meaningful experience out of this bad fanfic.
