Introduction

So I said to myself, "It's a shame that these great fanfic writers I find don't get the number of reviews they deserve," when I saw that there are a lot of authors in fanfiction.net who don't use the "Favorites" function of their accounts. I was also getting sick of how when I rave about a certain story I just read, hardly anybody can relate. And so I plugged some of the best stories I've read in my original blog. But still, it went unnoticed, because there were a lot of other entries and not enough space to keep a permanent link on the entry regarding fanfiction. That's why I came up with this. I've already made a separate blog for my movie reviews anyway.

Fan Fiction is created when one is so obsessed about something (book, TV series, movie, etc.), that he/she can't think of anything else, and so sometimes his/her mind (even without meaning to) concocts scenarios, dialogue, and many other things fictitious about their obsession. And although they know that these ideas aren't completely their own, they know it would be a shame to just forget about them as a lot of times, they are very good ideas. After all, who, other than the original authors, are better to explore the events, characters, etc. of different stories and show what other events involving them could happen, than the people who think about them the most--the fans?

I think fan fiction should be recognized as a real literary genre, if it isn't yet. It is for this reason that, I made this blog, to be able to share to others the product of normal people's imagination--a place of endless possibilities, the world of fan fiction.




I am a very slow reader. This is why I really haven't read as much fan fiction as most fan fiction readers are supposed to have read. But I'm only a slow reader, because I'm also a careful reader. And so you can be sure, that whatever story I recommend here, it has been read, right to the last period, and so I would most probably genuinely know what I'm talking about when I give it comments. But I'm putting quotations from the texts anyway, just in case you need more than my word to be convinced.

Well, that's it for my Introduction. I hope you like the stories I'll soon be telling you about.
