Things That Annoy You in Fanfiction

[Xamusel]

qwerty, yes, we are.

Seriously, the attention lantzblades gets to due being too controversial should be diverted to less controversial fic writers who need feedback more, especially those who debut as fic writers. That is all.

Now proceed to other stuff.

Not necessarily fanfiction, but scalie and furry versions of Nasuverse characters creep me out.

[Cherry Lover]

Wait, why does Lantz get special treatment. I get he's 'special' but I don't think he's THAT special.

Arch, that statement goes for all fics, really. This isn't a thread for discussing specific people's work. It's fine mentioning it or whatever, but Qwerty was turning this into a thread for discussing Lantz's work specifically.

[qwertyfatcat]

qwerty, yes, we are.

If we are, then lets keep talking. I rarely see you Xam, what's up?

As for fanfictions, it would be nice if the fans of those fics weren't so bad sometimes. They say some of the dumbest things and treat it like as if they did something unique or some bullshit like that. "OH MAN, SHIROU IS SO DUMB. I WISH YOUR AWESOME OC KILLED HIM AND TOOK HIS PLACE! HE'D CERTAINLY MAKE A HAREM AND MAKE A HAPPY ENDING!"

I already said, we're dropping it. Can you stop bringing it up now? I'm following the rules already Cherry.

Also, sane Berserker. Somebody at BL came up with a sane Berserker idea for fic, and I went lolwut. Sane Berserker is not a Berserker by default.

[KAIZA]

Also, KAIZA discussing about the warning about not discussing Lantz's fic in this thread is still discussing Lantz's fic in this thread. Are we still talking about what annoys us in fanfiction or what?

Ha ha, very funny. Don't try me.

Now, let's keep this on topic.

[Xamusel]

Doing alright, qwerty, quite alright at that. Currently helping some others with a fic for FFN (not Nasu-related) of my own volition... I just like helping people.

My current annoyances with fanfics? It just came today, but someone put the wrong number on his chapter count earlier this week, giving the impression he had two more chapters than he really did. Of course, because I looked at it, I could tell him he goofed.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't have a sane Berserker. Mad Enhancement can be turned off.

It defeats the point of using the class, of course, which is why there is generally no reason to do it, but I can see reasons why you would want to do it in a fanfic, especially Zero fanfics.

Well, the idea of the Berserker class is to strengthen weak servants by making them go insane. You didn't see Lancelot or Heracles making civil discussion. Why would Kariya or Illya do anything differently concerning ME?

[Xamusel]

Well, someone wrote a fic where Kariya didn't have Lancelot as Berserker, if anyone is curious about that.

Well, Kariya having a sane servant would be a major advantage to him, in reality, because his best chance of saving Sakura is to summon a servant who can kill Zouken or remove the worms from her somehow. I suspect that has a lot to do with why Zouken told him to use the Berserker class in the first place....

[Xamusel]

Uh, Cherry, the premise of the fic I mentioned was where Kariya didn't get a Berserker because he hates Zouken's guts... and Kiritsugu proceeds to kill Zouken as a means of getting an alliance with Kariya.

Well that is true, but it isn't the point. This is about summoning a sane Berserker. If Kariya only participates to save Sakura then Zouken will simply have him summon a Berserker to ensure his own survival(As you said a sane servant could probably just reduce Zouken to dust). This means that the Berserker will be under ME. There is no reason for Kariya not to and several for why he should.

Well, for Kariya perhaps, but for a fanfic writer there are plenty of reasons to want it to happen that way, because otherwise it's very difficult to write a story based around Kariya that isn't basically the same as Zero. So, it is not surprising that they find excuses for it.

Actually, it's because really, Zouken gives no shits about Kariya, and probably would have just iced him and taken the seals if he came close to winning, to get that wish for himself.

As a consequence, Sakura WOULD get to go free, but only because Zouken would be pimpin' out on his wish and not need her anymore.
