Fic Talk > General Discussion
Question of the day thread number 2!
RokofAges75:
Steph, your description of the 1D fanfic site sounds more like the fanfic board on the BSB fan club forum, only much crazier. I was going to say that hearing about 1D fans makes me glad the BSB fandom has grown up, but last time I looked at the fanfic forum on the fan club, there were still people whoring out their own stories and being quite teenybopperish, so it's probably not as much an overall maturity thing as just this site setting higher standards than that. It was the same way with that Refresh forum that Tanja used to plagiarize our stories on; the "writers" there were so ridiculous, it made us appreciate how things are on AC so much!
I'm glad that we have rules in place to prevent the shameless spamming and that we've lifted ourselves above having to beg other people to read our stories. I think we owe Chaos, Mare, and Julilly for making this place such a great place to post, read, and talk about fanfic!
Sakabelle:
Yes, we definitely owe our wonderful mods a big thanks for working so hard to make this place so, so awesome. It doesn't go unnoticed!
I have never looked at the fanfic forum on the BSB fanclub, and I probably shouldn't be surprised that there are still teenies like that in our fandom, but I kinda am. And yeah, 1DFF is the craziest place in the world. There's some legit good stuff on there, but you've got to wade through a LOT of junk to find it. And I don't have patience, so I mostly just read what my friends write and that's it. I don't even look at the most recent page.
They hold character auditions too. Where you can ask people if they want to be in your story. That seems a bit weird to me, but to each their own I guess.
RokofAges75:
That's what they did on Refresh too! Must be a teenybopper thing, although I don't ever remember that being a big thing in the early days of BSB fanfic.
Sakabelle:
Yeah I don't remember that from the early days of BSB fic either, though I definitely added myself and my friends in my own stories, as I'm sure other people did as well. Maybe it's just because we didn't really have forums and stuff back then to easily do stuff like that?
RokofAges75:
Yeah, that must be it. Like I was saying, it just wasn't as easy to talk to a wider circle of writers. I pretty much just had people who gave me feedback and people who I gave feedback to talk to LOL.
