Well not really a question, more like a statement lol Can you tell i'm bored? It figures that no one is around. :(
This is the sentence:
I really wish more people would give (Insert Name of story(yours or someone else's)/idea/genre/fandom/etc...here) a chance because ....

Sci-fi a chance, both in writing and reading. There's some great sci-fis out there if you dig enough (Yesterday's Blue Skies comes immediately to mind), where the Boys are still our Boys and are incredibly well written. And I wish more people wrote it cause I love to read it LOL.
FrickingKaos:
*side eyes Rose* well....ok. I guess that will do ;)

Oh my God.... with my last full week of work and packing in my free time, moving is killing me answering questions. I know Hannah will agree since she just arrived in Nashvegas. That'll be me next Saturday!
Will try to get around to answering questions tomorrow!

I'm having a tough time answering this one, so I'm just going to respond with a couple of follow-up questions LOL.
1. What are your fanfic turn-offs, things that would prevent you from wanting to click on a story to give it a chance?
2. Name a time when you took a chance on a story that you thought wouldn't appeal to you and ended up loving it.

If the summary doesn't catch my attention that is usually one thing. Grammar....I don't read slash or straight romance. I like romance if it is mixed with something, like comedy or suspense....an d has interesting characters. I don't really like stories laden with sex scenes either, one or two are ok but I don't like visuals.

Prime example of this was 00Carter. I had seen it pop up several times while roaming most recent but I didn't know if it was something I would read. I was reading a lot of suspense and angst at the time so action/adventure didn't seem interesting.
However I was really bored and came across the story, looked at it and just clicked on it for the hell of it. I was pleasantly surprised, it is really funny and clever, I love how there are "episodes" like it is a TV series. There's so much I could say about 00Carter, but I'm really glad I gave it a shot because I am open to reading all kinds of genres now. You don't know what you'll get unless you click! ;)
