I love fanfics too, but other times I really don't like them b/c they give me weird slightly off ideas of the characters. Like... they take the character's main characteristics and blow them out of proportion.

Other than that, its fun to read them. Sometime I wish a little more thought were put into them than who's paired with who though...

Yea. Sometimes though i think its fun for some characters to be "out of character".

Same here. This is why I generally avoid fanfics.

However, if the fanfic is being MST'd (a verb taken from the TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000, basically means to make fun of a bad fanfic), the more OOC the better.

I have to say I love fanfics, but not all fanfics. One of the whole points in my opinion is to KEEP the character IN character. That's the challenge, the thrill of writing them for me. I don't know how successful I am at it, but I enjoy trying!

I love fanfiction. I am, however, extremely picky when it comes to finding a suitable one to read.

For one, most of the fanfics I read (90%) - and I'm not ashamed to admit this - are romance. :sweat:

9% are humor.

Every now and then, I will go towards another genre.

I will not read a fanfic if:

If I click a story open and it's filled with typos/grammatical errors (IE the author apprentely didn't want to take the time to bother proofreading and spell checking initiating a very unproffesional manuscript) I will click out IMEDIATELY.

Any story that starts making the characters too OOC, (humor fanfiction or alternate universe fiction is the only exception) I stop right there and look for something else.

The idea of the story has to fit the universe. I would find it hideously rediculous reading a Mario fanfic with bucketloads of gore, swearing, ect.

I do have a limit for OOCness... which means if I were reading a romance in which the characters were SLIGHTLY sappier than they might really be, I'll let it slide. Mainly because I'm quite guilty of it myself in my own fanfics. :sweat:
