fantasy vs. reality
Feb. 23rd, 2009 09:28 pmit's fucking fanfic. why do i let it get to me so much? and yet i do and it does.
there's an 11 part series that i had been reading as the stories were posted, which is unusual for me since i DO NOT read wip's. but i stopped for a bit, and JUST finished reading the 10th part (which was originally posted around christmas?). i haven't yet read the 11th part, and now i'm not even sure i want to. i loved this series at the beginning. love LOVED. but this last part (the 10th) just made me absolutely FURIOUS. i am still just sitting here reeling(?) about it. (obviously or i wouldn't write this stupid fucking post).
this is going to have to go on my list of annoying fanfic issues.
the doctor does NOT trick or "kidnap" people into the tardis. he DOES NOT. it is ALways a conscious decision that the doctor has the person make. ALWAYS. he is very deliberate about this. he makes them CHOOSE. this is one area he does NOT play "god." it is THEIR CHOICE. always.
the minute your story, no matter how good, says otherwise, you have completely lost me. and the rest of your story may still be good. you may still be great writers. but you are WRONG, and i can't ignore that, and it absolutely ruins the story for me. i'm left reading the rest of the five parts going "no no no" the entire time and that won't go away no matter how you paint it.
sometimes i think fanfic writers get a bit too big for their britches. they think THEIR story is the exception or something. and i read thru the comments thinking that somebody else HAS to feel the same way i do. i can't be the only one, right? RIGHT? but apparently i am. because all anyone else has to say is the highest of praise. and this is definitely not the first time i've seen it happen. and it just really truly disappoints me.
real life sucks. i read fanfiction to make me happy. and right now i am anything but happy. god i need a fucking life.
