FanFiction.net Domanda

Do te agree with these ideas of ways to get rid of the crappy stories on ff?

1. Fanfiction should have a little section for people to send their before-published stories to others to be approved. Not beta-reading––others just need to check to see that the story is in good quality and condition and is readable before clicking an 'approved' button at the bottom of the page. And this should be a must for every story published. There should even be a 'disapproved' button if the story is not in good condition. It's like the approver is the publisher. And even after the fanfic is published, others can approve the story too, maybe clicking a button. The amount of approves should mostra up at the place where statistics of amount of words and characters and the giorno published is.

There is a difference between approving, beta-reading, and reviewing.

2. In a writer's profilo page, where it says 'My Stories' 'Favorite Stories' 'Favorite Authors' etc, there should also be 'My Notes'. Have te ever seen stories that just have stupid author's notes in them? Well, the 'My Notes' section is like a will be the place for all that, like a journal. te can write about maybe why te haven't updated stories, maybe about stories te aren't continuing anymore, maybe that te need a beta-reader, maybe about a new story idea te have, maybe that te just went to the bathroom, whatever! As long as it's not in the fandom fanfiction page, it's just in your profile.

Sorry if the above passages was confusing. But tell me what te think about these ideas, mmkay? And add your own, too.

I disagree with the first idea. FF.net is an archive, a place where te can first store your stories to share them.

Then te have a few guidelines about publishing. You'll always have some people to disregard these. No problem, as far as I'm concerned. If a story is badly written, I just leave it.

Who is going to judge one's stories ? On which criteria ? Besides, te have stories postato in many languages - once again, who is going to judge them in their native languages ? That also means that one giorno o so, some people will have to be paid to spend time to read and judge stories written da others (how would they be qualified to do that btw ?). Consequence : FF.net won't be free any more. Argh !

No, better let readers be the sole judges of that. They can leave reviews, flame down o encourage, etc, as they deem best. Honestly, I leave a review when the story is worth the trouble. If it is poorly made, I just stop Leggere it.

These ideas te exposed remind me of what is called "censorship". I don't like it for me, I don't like it for others. If censorship is applied to some people, then it can be applied to me too. (When I say "me", it means any autore actually.)

No, just leave it as such. Readers can leave reviews. Authors can check the traffic their stories generate. These elements (number of positive and negative reviews, traffic stats) are enough to give an idea to readers (through other people's reviews) and authors (through reviews and stats) about how successful o not their stories are.

The secondo idea, about notes o whatever, is something to be deepened. Though notes pertaining to a specific story can be added to it. Some authors post a small text to explain why they have stopped posting out of lack of inspiration o if they had a temporary computer issue, o no time, etc. The text postato as such can be removed later (I already did that). Unfortunately, they don't do it that often.

Usually, stupid author's notes are matched with stupid stories. I've never read intelligent author's notes for a stupid story and vice-versa. so where's the issue ?

I agree with the secondo idea, the first one I'm not so sure, but notes on the profilo is not a bad idea.

First Idea is not a really good one because te have always people who press disapprove just for fun and if a lot of people are eagerly waiting for an update, it would be very annoying to wait before it gets approved.
The secondo idea however does sound good. It is rather annoying if te get a reminder of a story that is updated and it is only an authors note.

i don't agree with the first idea, because even people who aren't the best writers whould be allowed to, as the slogan says, "unleash their imaginations and free their souls." and about the second, i guess it's a good idea but i don't mind the author's notes in the stories and i don't go to the profilo pages too often.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is any way to get rid of all the crappy fics on ff.net. The main reason for that is, I think, because there's a whole lot of first time writers on every fandom, and I don't any of us have the right to take away their privilege to publish. They will eventually improve, so, lets just hope they do. The successivo biggest reason is, and the one that angers me soo much, that newcomers o not, that some of the writers of crappy fics just absolutely refuses to listen to constructive criticism. All they want for reviews is for people to gush over how much they Amore the story. Seriously, after several failed attempts, I've stopped giving CC's to those types of fics entirely. What's the point if they won't listen to you? *shakes head*

As for the secondo option, like the person above me pointed out, there's so stupid Author's notes in good fics and there's no intelligent notes in the bad ones. Also, the problem with the notes are that many readers won't read them. The chances of readers Leggere a very important announcement from the autore is higher if it's mentioned at the top/bottom of a fic rather than going to an entirely different page.

I agree with te about Point No. 2 - I have already told off some of my readers that had complained about this o that in my stories, while they had been fully warned in the Author's Notes at the beginning of the story, not to mention the rating (I write mature, dark stuff).

As for your first point, so true. I leave a review if the story really deserves it (plot + grammar/spelling), had touched me a lot in many ways, for example. Which does not prevent me from giving consigli and encouragements. Otherwise, a poorly written story will have me leave it before I could even reach the "review button" at the bottom of the page.

Agreed. The più people reads our stories the better, but if they're going to complain about every little thing, I'd rather have them not read at all.

The secondo one I like. But the First one I don't I mean it seems rude to say. te can't carica this

for being bad. The wonderful thing about fanfic. Is that EVERYONE can carica there story. Rather

it's bad o good. They is no one to stop it. Also do te think. People will click disapproved. Just for not liking the ship? o the character it is about? o just not liking the story?
