Basically, nobody but me on Scratch likes fanfiction. Why not like it? It's good. Noone likes it. And I write fanfics.

Answers please!

Because most people on Scratch are immature, being late to memes and trying to act all cool (This is my biggest complaint with the site). However, they also like to read big weighty books and now have high standards for what they read... standards that do not match their writing abilities. So most things they write is terrible, but they're used to reading things that aren't terrible.

Re: Why doesn't anyone like Fanfiction?

I don't read them, like them, or want to talk about them. Just read the original! Or write your own story, with original characters if you desperately want to write.


Programming is an art...
Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.

I don't like them.  They're just kind of... I don't know I grew out of them and I'm embarrassed by the ones I used to write.

Some fanfics are good.

Even some trollfics are good.

But "OMG MAH CHAR LUVS HARRY POOTER 4ND LIEK, ARAGORN LOL" is no-no

I don't think it's possible for a tomato soup to swim, as the newspapers would absorb it

Bottom line, it's 2 characters in a relationship.
Or how something gets somewhere via mail or boat.

Re: Why doesn't anyone like Fanfiction?

To all of you supporters of fanfiction, read Peter Chimera.


Also, isn't it kinda odd how every supporter except OP is a New Scratcher.


What does that tell you? That they jut found out about the internet.

Re: Why doesn't anyone like Fanfiction?

I do sometimes, but I tend to like original fiction masquerading as fan fiction like Luminosity (Twilight with a rational Bella) or the Sacrifices Arc (Harry Potter had a twin, is in Slytherin and his parents survived).


cause a bird and a fish could fall in love/but where would they live?
