Thoughts on fanfic.

chibi_trillianI'm becoming increasingly intolerant of bad fanfic. Hell, I'm becoming intolerant of mediocre fanfic, and that's a serious problem.
Maybe it's the constraints on my time or something, but lately a fic gets one hundred words to impress me before I hit the back button, and I've got new authors on a one-strike-you're-out policy. Hell, I quit reading some NC-17-rated fic on OPY simply because the author aggravated me with her abuse of the "in media res" technique and her stilted grammar in the first paragraph, and I've been whining for porn lately. She posted something else, and even the promise of a thousand-plus words of porn was not enough to summon any desire to read it.
Man, I used to read everything that got posted on OPY and OPY100, shitty or not, just in case. What happened to my tolerance levels? T_T
In other news, I had a retarded idea for a series of non-Metalverse ZoSan drabbles (WTF is up with the ZoSan and me lately?). Fortunately for any respect people might have for me as a writer, it's so long and complicated that it will likely never get finished. :B
