First and foremost, I am EXTREAMLY annoyed that I have to write this. I
always told myself that I would never write fan fiction, only read it, so
as having the ability to say "Hey, at least I never wrote it" If you think
this is a shot at all you writers, your dumb. As you'll see as I type this
damn thing, I CAN'T write! Not a lick, scratch or sent. I LOVE (on the
other hand) To READ.
My mind is a seriously corrupted one. I can read about a sixty-year-old man getting down with a seventeen-year-old and not get disgusted. I can make it through a father/son make-out session with stride. I even come back to stories about rape, murder, and drugs to feel that burn in my stomach when I read a fanfiction that was good.
The point is bad fanfiction is out there. I've read MORE then my share of it and have some scars to prove it. And I'd rather write a mediocre fic that could be expanded on and inspire BETTER writers to get off their asses and see a perfectly good fandom just waiting to be explored. Back to the Future Fan Fiction is not just for those who write chronicles or series or novels, but they can be home to drabbles, vinaigrettes, and most importantly, stuff you can print out and read on the subway.
I do not ask you to love me, or even like me, but to consider me. Consider what COULD happen. We have been blessed with this overwhelming freedom, and not to run it out is criminal to me. But consider what you are doing. Everyone, just take a minute and consider it.
That is all I ask.
