I must be absolutely insane, coming back here. Let's establish a little background information, first: I am the fanfiction author formerly known as Bodger. I left this place in protest to Xing's sudden decision to utterly drop the MST3K section of the site, back when I wrote and read the stuff regularly. And now I'm back. Why? Ego, partly. Any given author secretly wants to have their material read. Considering my other alternative is a no-name personal site in the middle of the boonies with no readership due to spotty updates, a place such as FF.net may be the only place I can garner commentary. Also, ease. Simple uploading of materials? No worries. Very helpful. Most of all, though, is a desire to produce works which portray my personal idea of what a fanfic ought to be -- namely, a deeper exploration of pre-existing characters. You may note I don't write for major fandoms in general. That's because they've been done, raked over the coals, etc. I'd rather explore new grounds. As a gamer, I want to look deeper into the things that the games themselves didn't touch. This isn't to say I'll be producing fifty-billion works or anything, but in case I have the urge to write something proper (and lord knows I have ideas), I've got an avenue. Extra note: I will PERSONALLY respond to anybody who provides a well-written, insightful review of anything I produce. Thank you. |
