From the annals (or is it anals? *g*) of fic reviews:
"The characters may be a bit OOC, but that is the main purpose of fanfics, isn't it?"
"May need a bit of work but any story that has BB and Brennan eventually ymarried [sic] and pregnant is a winner in my book ! !"
That's it; I'm done.
I just browsed the archives of Bones's FF.net page and I think I'll stick to keeping my eyes shut and mouse off the review button(okay, so technically it's a drop-down).
Apt tag, though. I just love the way you put things.

Thanks. *g* It seemed appropriate.

Again, thank you. But if and when the day comes when you read something of mine that looks like bad!fic, please tell me. I'll join you in laughing and then will slink off to give myself fifty lashes before I allow myself to touch a keyboard again. ;)
Yeah, you try and give them the review they deserve (even not being mean), be sure they'll get the angriest ever. 'You're not a writer!!', I read once. Yes, but I'm a reader.
I really don't know if I want to laugh or to cry. ;)
Yes, but I'm a reader.
Absolutely!
I really don't know if I want to laugh or to cry. ;)
I've done both.
Just stop.
Reading bad!fic and scary comments might put me off writing. Or I might absorb weird writing tics. I really don't need those; I'm sure I have plenty already.
Definitely the "anals" in this case. Even seeing it secondhand hurts.
Kinda makes you want to stick a fork in your eye, doesn't it?
I can't tell you how tempted I am to write a story about Brennan and Booth getting ymarried after they have sex one time during which they both take their pants off over their heads after dancing maniacally to Hot Blooded while eating macaroni and cheez and Thai food mixed together and Brennan gets pregnant and finds that out the VERY NEXT MORNING cuz she starts puking at the lab and then they will be having twins and plz to be living happily ever after forever OMG in their house of tru wuv except for the one time when Cam--that eViL biatch--comes over and tries to kill Brennan and her bebes because she is so jealous of their love and she has never gotten over SeeLY Booth. But SeElY gets there just in time and shoots her. Then Sully arrives and...
Sorry; you've gotta wait for the next chapter.
Hi, my name is Alyson, and I lurk.
I read quite a lot of fanfic, but I rarely, if ever, leave reviews.
From what I can tell, that's what the vast majority of people do. Don't know if that should make you feel better or worse. *g* Fanfic writers consistently commiserate about how few comments they get relative to the number of hits they get on their stories.
Shoot me now. Please.
I've been having so much trouble finding really good Bones!fic. I don't know if it's the age of a fandom, or simply that the good writers are off doing something else (the exception being you, of course :)
My previous fandom was Buffy, and there were many good writers and absolutely wonderful authors. Folks who knew the difference between 'we're', 'where' and 'were', could keep characters within character, and understood proper punctuation and paragraph formation.
I just miss the days where I could spend hours poring over great writing, without coming across any "I toatlly suck at sumaries but read anyway... dont forget to R&R!!"
*sigh* Thank the Lord you're around!
Hmmm - did you get that one? I know I've seen it recently!
Either way - holy hell. It's WRONGNESS on a monumental scale :)
No, thankfully. I might die if either of those comments were directed at me. *g* That comment was left for one of the fics I recently read and did not enjoy so much.
