i am so freaking sick of this.., page 2
@chocolate.
Finally someone else who noticed this. It seems sometimes that if they aren't cliquely in love and having sex in like chapter 3 people ignore the story and as long as they are having sex there can be no grammar, no spacing and like 300 words a chapter and people love it. It gets frustrating >.< (I've been trying to figure it out for over a year)
@broadway.bound
preach it sister! as am i. I've tried and resorted to almost everything and i still cant work it out! not only is it incredibly frustrating, i just can't seem to figure out the perfect method. maybe it is time difference posting? maybe it is the fact a few of the things i post are too mature? I can't understand anything at the moment :/
A bit late but, anyway.
People repeat plots because they work, and some plots work because they become stereotyped. This is the eternal struggle between originality and individual genius against mainstream, fanfiction version. Most people follow trends because it's easier, comfier, and it gives a sense of belonging. Less people like challenges, especially in fanfiction, where some ideas are predominant––punk Harry, dark Harry, daddy kink, slavery, all trends; people write about this because it already worked for others.
We have to believe in what we do, and hope for a kindred soul :)

@chocolate.
Ikr? Some stories on here don't even have the full title capitalized. TF? @strawberries That's exactly right!
To everyone who has commented on this; I can't help but want to say all your work is utterly amazing and likes, votes, comments or not you all deserve every piece of regonition you get.

So right!!! I thought maybe my story ideas were too "out of the box" at first. Like maybe people just didn't want to read about Spies, princesses, nerdy Harry that never becomes cool, or possesion stories, and just wanted the "boy meets girl, girl falls in love with him, loses her virginity to him, he cheats on her with ex girlfriend slut, she cuts and ends up in hospital, he runs to save her, all is better. The end " story. So I tried that formula and oddly enough, within the first five hours I posted it up it got like three votes and subscriptions (this story was later removed due to ny own self feeling quite shallow lol) .
So basically people, we just have to confine ourselves into a box and water everything down and we'll do JUST. FINE. lol
@broadway.bound
Hahahahaha!!! Sex in chapter 3!!! YUSSSS That made me laugh my freakin ass off
@BloojayLove
You threw quite a nice experiment :) I don't know why I'm not surprised by the results... But it's OK though. People can learn to think out of the box and there has to be other kind of stories for them to read when they're ready. Meanwhile what you call your "box" is the world, while it's them who are confined to read the world in one single, stereotyped way ;)
@BloojayLove From your writing that I've read, I'm surprised you went through which such a social experiment. It would have been really interesting to see you keep going just to find out what reactions you'd get, feedback you'd receive etc. & I agree with @not_any_maryjane it's not a box, but it sure does feel like a confined environment.
@not_any_maryjane
You're so dang smart. Girly you are like a friggin wise old owl!!!! So full of knowledge and stuff! You need your own Bestseller!
@tattooink
It was different for me. I have this weird problem where I strive for acceptance, and I just wanted to see what people tended to like and appreciate. I wanted them to like my work lol So that is another reason why I did it. * hides head in shame* lol
And which story did you read?? Please don't tell me it was that awful mess of The Queen's Court. Lolol
@chocolate.
And I personally think your an amazing writer who should get more credit for your stories...
