Oh, yay.

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. 

Comments

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

well there you have it. Which is why I never bother commenting to bad fic writers.

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

I just opened my f-list in another tab, and I see fic from you! A little B/A from a2z is just what the doctor ordered. I'm reading it right now--and smiling. Thank you.

[rollsofrice.livejournal.com]

Please don't rub it in.

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.

[trilliane.livejournal.com]

I SAW THAT TOO!!
And then commenced to dropping my forehead to my desk and shaking my head whilst groaning in frustration.

[pinktealeaves.livejournal.com]

I'm not a religious person, but I think when God started giving brains to people, some of them where out and when they came back, he was out of brains and gave them noodle soup or something.

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. ;)

[witchofthedogs.livejournal.com]

Stop.

Just stop.

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

I know my posts about bad!fic were negative. We were talking about bad!fic, after all. But I do realize there is good!fic out there, too; that's just not what I read this week!

Apt tag, though.

Thanks. *g* It seemed appropriate.

I just love the way you put things.

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. ;)

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

Opinions are like assholes; everybody's got one. *g*

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

Noodle soup for brains sounds about right. :P

Yes, but I'm a reader.

Absolutely!

I really don't know if I want to laugh or to cry. ;)

I've done both.

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

I'm done. Really. *takes a deep, cleansing breath*

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.

[mistletoe54.livejournal.com]

Yes, give it up for Lent. You know it makes sense. Unless you went to ff.net as a form of penance in which case, stick to the 50 lashes: far less painful on the soul.

[greyskygirl.livejournal.com]

I'd ymarry you, 'cause you're that awesome. Definitely the "anals" in this case. Even seeing it secondhand hurts.

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

*dies laughing* I'd ymarry you, too.

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.

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

Since Sara knows best, I shall heed her. :D

[pharmduh.livejournal.com]

OMG PLZ riTe mORe SOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha, those reviews cracked me up. Especially the ones that told the author to ignore the bad ones because pshh, what do those people know about the laws of physics/nature/writing? It was obviously meant to be an AU fic, in a universe far far away.

I know we're done quoting from bad!fic, but I can't help this: "Tempe and Ange where in aww"

*laughs like a maniac*

[alterangirl.livejournal.com]

"ymarried." Dear God.

[tgrfan23.livejournal.com]

The bad fic reviews are almost as funny as the bad fics themselves. I laugh, but then I feel bad about it, cause I have a confession to make: I read quite a lot of fanfic, but I rarely, if ever, leave reviews.

Hi, my name is Alyson, and I lurk.

[trilliane.livejournal.com]

some are just better than others ;)

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

There is much to love in the stories AND the reviews. ;)

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.

[pali167.livejournal.com]

*cringes*

Shoot me now. Please.

[siapom.livejournal.com]

*snickers*

You forgot the part with the conversation where Booth is all worried about Brennan not wanting kids but it's okay because she suddenly doesn't mind at all that she's pregnant and thinks that being a mom is going to be the greatest challenge of her life and even her work won't be anywhere near as important now b/c she has the kids who are the cutest babies ever to be seen and Seeley (not Booth) to protect her from all of the big bad men that are out there in the world. *SQUEEEEEE!*

*takes a breath and rolls eyes* Don't forget. In bad!fic, punctuation is purely optional. :D

[makd.livejournal.com]

After her, me. :-)

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

I'm interpreting what you said as, "More, please!" :D

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

*hugs you close* Nope, I cannot do without my makd. But I promise this is the last bad!fic or scary!comments post you'll see from me. I'm already whimpering in the corner.

[pipergirl07.livejournal.com]

Bwahaha! I actually read that first summary and thought "uh, pass!"

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!

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

*shudders*

Decent grammar, spelling, punctuation, and characterization are all purely optional. *g* Punctuation? What is this punctuation of which you speak?

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

Indeed. *runs and hides in a corner*

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but I've run out of bullets. :\

[siapom.livejournal.com]

*pretends to be a bad!fic writer and tilts head to side* Dunno. Punctua.... Can't be that important. Lemme look it up.

LOL :D

[tempertemper77.livejournal.com]

"The characters may be a bit OOC, but that is the main purpose of fanfics, isn't it?"

Hmmm - did you get that one? I know I've seen it recently!

Either way - holy hell. It's WRONGNESS on a monumental scale :)

[tempertemper77.livejournal.com]

Sorry to leap in here and off at a tangent - but I just love that icon so much. LMAO :)

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

Hmmm - did you get that one? I know I've seen it recently!

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.

[tempertemper77.livejournal.com]

Well thank heavens for that, if it had been left for you it would have not only been WRONG but WRONG - you get me?? I'm not making much sense today. I'm in turmoil.. my little boy broke his arm y'day *sobs*

[lerdo.livejournal.com]

I'm in turmoil.. my little boy broke his arm y'day *sobs*

Oh no! Poor thing. :( (And poor you.) He's only 2, right? What happened? *hugs*

[tempertemper77.livejournal.com]

That's right 2. He fell over the back of the sofa (doing his regular stuntman routine) and landed awkwardly on the exercise bike. We feel so guilty! Was at the ED with him 'til gone midnight last night. He has a dear little cast and was very brave. Doesn't stop me hating myself though!

Thanks for hugs :)
