Let's Talk Fanfiction!! {Closed}

Look at this bull-crockery.

*(re-edited. Again)

Let's just get this out of the way already.
Fanfiction SUCKS. Seriously. But not because it's basically written by people with no originality or are so obsessed with this one thing that instead of growing up and moving on, they make stories about this fandom.
Because while all that is probably true, especially in my case, that would also mean I'm insulting any Fan freaks who snuck into this shit ass book and are reading this and I don't want to do that.

So no, that's not why Fanfiction sucks.
Honestly, there are so many reasons as to why it's terrible now that I'm going to need more than one book to rant on it.

But this is only chapter one, and since you're still reading this (congrats on already ruining your head with this stuff), then I'm just going to get straight to the point.

Love.
Love is the reason Fanfiction is now a trash bin.

You may be thinking," Whoa whoa whoa, let's chill for a minute. Love isn't THAT bad."

Honestly, it is though. Especially in the carbon copy stories you see right here on Wattpad. Look at the recommended section. Look at the Hot Picks or whatever the hell we're calling it now. And it only gets worse when we get to Fanfiction.

I'm tired of trying to find good, wholesome fan-made stories only to find they've been taken over by some sickly sweet Love Zombies who shove eye candy down your face hole.

I don't want to look into a Harry Potter fanfic to find that Harry and some OC named Thumbaline Rainbow Shadow Kawaii Musicly Flipperdunk are making out by chapter three.

Goodness gravy, I need to get my thoughts together.

Okay.

There's a lot of different types of love I could rant on and there's a lot of situations I could shove in your face right about now. But I'm going to attempt to restrain myself.

The main points you need to get from this is:

1.) Love isn't the only adventure.
I know it's tempting to make an entire story based around your OC and a Canon or maybe one Canon and another Canon. But there's so much more to life than love.
I'm a depressed shiznit half the time and a psycho bonkers bouncing-off-the-walls nutcracker the other half, and plenty of drama comes out of that.
It's fine to make a one shot revolving around sparks and butterflies and little Eskimo kisses or whatever sugary fluffy stuff you're into. It's not okay to do that in a story. A story should have ups and downs and throw so many emotions at the reader's sorry ass that by the time they're finished, they don't see how life had any meaning beforehand.

That..had a lot more curses than I had planned.

2.) How Love affects people.

Love shouldn't have to make every person it wrangles into its poisonous grip turn into a fumbling idiot. I can understand making them a little bit dumber, because hormones and fuzzy feelings can hinder anyone's ability to make smart decisions. But don't take their IQ and toss it off a bridge.

Love is also a huge pain in the tail bone. I hate feeling it and I'm not alone. One minute I could be floating on a clouded tinted with rainbows and unicorns, and then I'll run into the person that I'm head over heels for and I'm spending the next eternity crying in a corner because I think I'm dopey and dumb and I shouldn't exist and they'll never love me back and I DONT WANT TO, YOU STUPID PEASENT OF A HEART.

Such fun times, am I right?

And I'm positive there's more stuff on this to rant on and you guys are probably TOTALLY DYING to hear more, but I'm all pooped out.

So VOTE!
COMMENT!
And I will see YOU in the next rant! (Or not, I don't control your life.)
