Aberystwyth. Aber-Ystwyth. Mouth of the River Ystwyth. For heaven's sake. Why is it that nobody can spell Aberystwyth? I guess I should just be glad I don't live in Eglwyswrw.

Well, after several years out of the fandom I'm writing a Legend of Zelda fanfiction. Frankly I'm amazed at how things have changed since I was a Zelda fan. And I don't mean they've changed in a good way. Are most modern fanfiction authors simply illiterate? FanFiction.Net used to be a great resource... now it just gives me stabbity urges.

I'm sure nobody ever reads this thing anyway, so I'll talk to myself for a while about my Zelda fanfiction. I think it's good, but I'd imagine the peons on FFN will disagree if I ever get to the stage of uploading it. It's a bit too original for mainstream fandom... kinda like Redux. Now there's a fic that got the cold shoulder. *sighs* Oh well. If I wanted popularity I should probably be writing stories about Link and Ganondorf having sex. I mean, that's a common pairing on FFN. This, after all, is a site with Snape/Sorting Hat porn.

I wish to God I was making that up.

You're so right! People only write about (extremely bizarre) relationships these days! But I must tell you it doesn't only happen in FF.N, it's like this EVERYWHERE. *sigh* Feels like writers have lost all touch ¬¬

You want my opinion? Don't post your story on FF.N, people go there to read the kind of thing that's posted, and your story doesn't fit. Put it somewhere else, maybe even here, but not there... I'm not saying there aren't good fics there, but MOST decent writers or readers don't go there anymore because of the porn avalanche.

But that's just me speaking, do what you think it's right, you have my support always ^^

As a matter of fact, my dear, I think Ereshkigal's got a point- here, you don't get so many lamers. Here, nobody cares how original your fics would be- I think... Post it up here and see.

As for bizarre pairings, I like -original- pairings. That is, uncommon ones- HP's full of stupidly written pairings, anyway. (Don't do Link/Ganon... The Zelda/Ganaulden thing was actually a stroke of genius on my part. SOCK HORROR HE HAS AN EGO)

Sometimes people read these things.. I'm not really one for reading, That's why my first draft is my final. I'm writing a story where the Sonic Group and the Mario Group team up. It's not easy... But me and a couple friends are gonna make it into a pixelated Flash Cartoon.. Maybe that'll help get attention? err.. sorry.. only meant to say "People Read These things" and " link porn is bad!"
