Purple Dinosaur Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Why do people post Fan-Fics and leave them after posting 1 or 2 and maybe 3 episodes? What I'm seeing is People that post original Stories and then quit them after posting just a couple of episodes. I say that a rule should be made that you HAVE to have at least 10 Episodes in a Fan-Fic. Not just one. I see great Fan-Fics getting to the Second Page of threads and it just doesn't make much sense. So, there should be a minimum of episodes per Fan-Fic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 There could be many reasons people give up. A. They don't have enough Morale.B. People flame their work.C. They have a life and do not have time to update.D. Other So no, I do not support this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final Fantasy Revolution Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 well the thing is YCM cant make people write more. Also there may be certain circumstances to why the Fan Fic isn't running anymore. Such as that user was banned, that user quit YCM, or that user just doesn't want to write anymore.

J-Max Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 It takes a lot of inspiration to write a good Fan-Fic. Devotion is something I struggle with at times. Why should I have to make a minimum number of Chapters to qualify? It could be one of the best reads ever and only 1 Page long. So I don't agree.

Purple Dinosaur Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Well if people aren't sure if they'll post more of their Fan-Fic, they should post one at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Max Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Well if people aren't sure if they'll post more of their Fan-Fic' date=' they should post one at all.[/quote']I'm sorry but that's just plain ignorance. So you're saying that i've made a kick-ass Fan-Fic and want to post a couple of chapters up as a taster for people to enjoy, Then later I feel like I could be doing other things. At least people have that taster and know what's possible. I also don't want to read through mountains of Text in one go. I want to enjoy Fan0-Fics 1 chapter at a time.

Bloodrun Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 well I understand what you mean, =( unfortunately but you cant force people to make a fan -fic, let alone force them to keep it running if they want to stop making it, thats all there decision... there are other forces that act upon the situation, that causes the author to quit his/her fan fic....

Lilrow Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 The real problem is that people post 1 or 2 episodes, and unless they are a popular member, nobody views them and they give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Diviner Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I used to have a few fan-fics.Most were not looked at and some were called stupid.So I stopped.But I've got a new one and I will try my best to keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiro Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 If you want a requirement of 10 fan fics before we can post them, then fan fic is dead.Nobody is gonna post friggen 10 fan fics without any ratings. Also, people might get bored, even with great comments (like me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Dinosaur Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I guess you guys are all right... But still, it's just crowding up the Section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SushiTheLegend Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Well if people aren't sure if they'll post more of their Fan-Fic' date=' they should post one at all.[/quote']That is stupid...if you get an idea you will obviously start it, but when that idea goes dead you give up. Also people who flame people's work doesn't help with it either, why should one continue a piece of work when people flame that work and call it rubbish?
