accomplishedSG1 wonder how they are going to explain bringing a 6ft penis sculpture back through the gate - written for a challenge.
( Seriously, I need to go bleach my brain now, or at least feed it some heavy duty OT3 porn - preferably written by someone on my flist )
Le sigh. Reading fanfic certainly has its perils, and the pit (FF.net) has more than its share of truly awful, craptacular, badly written, unproofread, schmoopy, canon raping, character assassinating, piles of steaming *ahem* that make baby Jesus cry.
I think I need to state my fanfic/original fic manifesto - not that anyone on my flist is guilty (you're all wonderful authors whose work I obsessively re-read; and, best of all, you write coherent, structurally sound pieces.) But I'll put it out there in the ether of the interweb for future generations to ponder my words of wisdom and nod sagely.
Ye verily, for Rigel was righteous in the ways of fanfic, and her words ring true throughout the ages. May she be quoted in our hour of need.
I have journeyed to the top of the mountain and conversed with TPTB, and lo, their holy writ was conveyed to me to spread amongst the masses. I shall cast down the golden idol of the Mary Sue being worshipped by the infidels and show you all the path to enlightenment.
*cue heavenly ray of light and chorus of angels who all resemble the luscious Dr. Daniel Jackson*
( The Ten commandments of fic, with bonus interpretation so there can be no confusion )
TPTB hath spoken in a voice-of-doom warning that those that violateth their commands shalt be tormented forever in the depths of the special hell reserved for them.
( Additional laws, regarding the writing of fanfic )
Yep... fandom has eaten my brain - but in a good way!
