Hi Everyone,
I suggested to iwsod that we move the fanfic discussion over here to Ned's and she agreed, so voila! Here's a link to the original discussion on the blog. It was part of the comment thread for post 8 of OOADPigeon.
justwalkwithme.com/2013/09/26/8-season-two-episode-17-odds-on-a-dead-pigeon-scarecrow-and-mrs-king/#comments
If you don't feel like going back over there to sift through the comments to find what you're looking for, here's a brief recap:
Check out the real comments if you have time - I couldn't capture all the good stuff - just the funny stuff. And I may have gotten something wrong. Jestress also shared that she writes SMK fanfic - although it was not part of this comment thread. Loved her filler story for Flight to Freedom! What's the title, Jestress?
Jestress and Melissa R., would you care to share some of the titles of your stories or links to where fanfic readers can find them? Anyone else care to share a fanfic thev're written?
So what is your favorite fanfic? Why?
What do you think makes a fanfic good? Does it have to be technically well-written? How would you define well-written? Does is need to make you cry or laugh out loud? Are you easily entertained (especially after seeing Lee in a tux)?
Okay - I'll stop there - just please remember to be considerate! It isn't easy putting yourself out there on the open market for criticism!

If you don't feel like going back over there to sift through the comments to find what you're looking for, here's a brief recap:
- Bink,BJo and iwsod all agree RedGold is a fabulous fanfic writer.
- iwsod doesn't read fanfic - at least not until she has finished her 88 episode walk.
- Bink (aka kgmohror) thinks RedGold needs to write MORE MORE MORE fanfic.
- RedGold wrote "Autumn Lights".
- Bink thinks most fanfic isn't very good.
- BJo, Bink and Jule all wish they could write really well.
- Bink and Jule slap writers who can write better than they can.
- Morley stalks fanfic authors who write well.
- Morley also thinks it is fun to try to represent the characters as well as her favoriter authors even though she doesn't always know how to (her words, not mine .
- Cindy agrees with Bink that most fanfic isn't very good but there are also good writers who don't know the characters well and that frustrates her.
- Cindy also hates it when authors have Lee and Amanda get hot and heavy in S1 - she prefers to stay in cannon. No AU for her!
- Bink and Jule agree with Cindy on the AU stuff.
- BJo is easily entertained by most fanfic (because she is always in a dimple coma) but prefers in cannon stuff like Cindy and Bink.
- Melissa R. also prefers in cannon and writes her stuff after the series ended so she can do what she wants with the characters. That almost sounds naughty....
- Bink dabbles in fanfic - but has only done Remington Steels stuff. She may do SMK in the future. Oh, and she has an RS blog! Check it out! kgmohror.com/
- KC thanks Bink for mentioning RedGold's fanfic "Autumn Lights" and says RedGold "nailed it!" Yep, think we all agree on that one, KC!
