switch842...and it's starting to piss me off.
Has anyone else noticed the recent influx of suckiness in fandom? Like, all of them? Especially in fics and videos? Like, I hate reading WIPs, so I try to wait until they're done to read them. And there are some that sound really interesting and I'm really excited to read, and then I do. And it completely sucks ass. Everyone is so out of character, the grammar and spelling are atrocious. Ugh. It's almost to the point where I wish I could leave feedback or something that says "Please stop writing. You suck." But know I can't. Grrr.
And with the vids! Oy! With Microsoft including Windows Movie Maker on all the operating systems now, it seems like everyone and their 80 year old mother feels like they can do this. And most of the time, people just take a song and plop random scenes on top that don't go with the song, have nothing to do with the song.
It's just disaapointing cos I feel like sometimes, a lot of the good writers and vid makers are getting discouraged, cos there's all this crap out there and yet people keep gushing "ZOMG!!!!!111!! That was sooooo amazing!! Ur the best!" And they're not. And now I'm rambling, so I'm gonna shut up now.
Does anyone else feel this way?

I cant even stomach maost of my favorite thunk threads either anymore
I can't even tell you the last time I was in the MS thunk thread. The Baal/Cliff thunk thread is every nice though. He seems to have much more mature fans. Come check it out! :-D
