[livejournal.com profile] fandomme topped herself again with chapter 13 of "Stormbenders".

It takes a really slick fanfic writer to gradually introduce a ton of fic clichés (especially fandom-specific fic clichés) and do it so stealthily that you don't even seem them, or if you do see them you don't care, because the overall effect is distracting you with its morass of AWESOME.

I think [livejournal.com profile] fandomme could eat a live baby on youtube and the entire zutara fandom's response would be "You won't get food poisoning and be unable to update The Fic, will you? Make sure you cook it all way through!" With helpful tips on seasoning and an offer to make the leftovers into sandwiches she can eat while writing. :D Pass the syrup?

...of course, when you were her age, you had already discovered the darker realms of Harry Potter fanfiction...oh God, what were you thinking back then?

::laugh:: I certainly learned a few things from fanfic when I was a teenager, but I got most of what I needed to know from the library.

Seriously, parents and watchgroups worry so much about the corruptive influence of the internet, but I learned all the basics by reading from the general fiction section of my local library. Books are full of sex and violence. CRAZY FULL! All the internet did was expand and enlighten the edges of the map a bit.
