Fanfic/writing/fandom etc... Question(s) of the day
Rose:
It's definitely about talent. I just feel that self-publishing is just the easy out. And I know that's why some people do it, so that they don't have to go through all the difficulty of finding a publisher. It's harder, but more rewarding I'd think.

You know, if you are published by a real place nothing comes out of pocket. The editing, cover, etc... Is done at the publishers expense. If they ask you for money you're being taken for a ride. I didn't have to pay a cent for Mel's. Just the initial cost to mail them my manuscript. It's self publishing that costs an arm and a leg because everything comes out of pocket. The only advantage for that is at the end, you get to keep almost all the money your book makes. But you have to pay to get those books printed in the first place so... Slippery slope there.
I'm Talking about print books of course, and not e-books.

Tonight's question:
What is your biggest fanfic pet peeve?
FrickingKaos:
Stories that aren't edited properly, as if the writer just didn't seem to care and slapped it all together before posting it. I also don't like summaries that give half the plot away. Keep it simple :)
Sakabelle:
I think more than anything I hate walls of text. It's not hard to put spaces in between your paragraphs.
