Fanfiction, fanfiction...

The only thing worse than Harry Potter femslash is Harry Potter mpreg. It's strange but HP slash without mpreg in general put more mind in story than femslash, there even some stories that don't require brainbleach to read... Urgh... Not that i would want to read any of that, just sometimes random curiosity DO kills a cat, or at least readers brains...

Still think that Macross+ is worst canon Macross ever. Hated it. And because it was my first Macross i hated all Macross and refused to watch for 5 years before decided to watch SDFM after all... and liked it.

How to spot shitty fanfic part 1

This is statistical one - so once in a while there are pearls and rubies in a heap of trash - just a most of are not.

1. "Real family" fics - the real parents of N is M. If it's a case of "adoption" 9/10 it's a bad fic, if parents of N are unknown 50/50.
2. Fic is Evangelion crossover.
3. Character bashing.
4. Remakes - "N and M in high school", "N and M as office ladies" and so on - wasn't successful at finding anything good in this pile of shit at all...
5. "Mirrorverse" fics, especially if author states that it's NOT mirrorverse. "Evil lord Dumbledore", "Setsuna will kill anybody for Crystal Tokio" and "Evil, evil Konoha wilagers" are good examples. Sometimes there are good ones like Warringers "Going home" and "Back home" but they are rare.
6. Genderchange fics. I'm not talking about jusenkio. Fannon inspired ones like "Fem Haku" are somewhat better in general but still...
7. Harem fics where harem number is >3. Cannonical ones like Tenchi do not count... or may be they do, because harem is rarely well writen in them and most likely reduced to one girl shipping or Ayeka-Ryoko war which is easily makes shitty fanfic by itself.
8. Yaoi and Yuri fics. There are decent ones... but rare.
9. Het fics where it's not on backstage. They else became porn ones, or are bad written and too OOC.
10. Self inserts. But there are decent ones... rarely.
