I have read fanfiction for so many years, I feel like it'll always be a part of my life. At least, I will always remember that it has made me someone who compulsively corrects grammar and word misuse. This is an excuse, yes, but I feel like I used all my alloted tolerance on fanfiction, and every instance afterward has been an exercise in self-control instead... not my best-developed trait. There are some truly well written stories on here in the beloved worlds of my degenerate youth, and they are the reason I return. Even though I finally feel I've matured enough for adult books now (though the classics may chase me back so I don't need to think, the horrors), fanfiction was a wonderful timesink that let me remain in the welcoming arms of my early favourites. I also feel like the sheer amount of reading that I've done on this site made me better able to analyse and recognise good writing and storytelling. So I'm grateful for that, and am always eager to find a new gem in the shitstorm; but I lost the inclination to wade through terrible writing to find them. The filters were probably the reason I kept up as long as I did: searching for the most favourited story means I probably won't curse the regression of humanity when I read the stories near the top. Now, I follow and reread the ones I truly love, and periodically trim my favourites list when I realise that I really only added some stories so I could reread and delete. Because I do that. Because I'm kind of a language lover (snob, if I'm being honest), and I seem really old as I reread this. My earliest remaining favourites are so old fanfiction.net glitched. Apparently, they're from 00-00-0000. Whenever that was. Still, I think it's been about ten years, and it seems a good time to tackle my Goodreads list, which has over 300 titles on the to-read shelf. So I hope my favourites list is usefel to others, and I am certain I will read the stories again myself. |
