in regards to 'bad!fic'

[permetaform]

I must say that even beyond my love certain trashy-slashy-bodice-rippers, even beyond my love of certain pairing fic and certain *rare* pairing fic despite their dubious quality, and even beyond the fact that deep down inside I'm kinda glad that they make my fic look good even in my *worst* days of self-loathing, that I fully, whole-heartedly approve of bad!fic.

I really do; I approve of bad!fic the way people approve of young children and puppy dogs.

There is just such an insane amount of glee and misguided enthusiasm there. They have such utter sputter-inducing seriousness when they try to use 'cum' in an erotic setting. They are unrepentant fantasies. They are neophytic probes of sexuality.

They are badly conjugated vowels.

Very, badly conjugated vowels. (you know, the ones that occur in the throes of orgasmic bliss? yeah, those.)

And I love bad!fic like I do children; which is to say that I sometimes want to strangle them.

Which is also to say that I sometimes want to protect them with all my power.

'Cause you know what? A bad!fic is just a good!fic that hasn't had a good chance to be nudged and prodded and encouraged into something stronger. A bad!fic is a new author's first attempt, or an author's second attempt, or an author's 23rd attempt just before the "Eureka" that will encourage a leap of quality into something better and more lasting and durable. A bad!fic is just something that all authors have written, and if you've never written a bad!fic before?

You're lying.

And this is not to say I wholly disapprove of elitism, because there *are* standards to be upheld. And without due reward, recognition, and publicity towards the cream of the crop, how can one adequately judge any other piece?

Where you'd get into trouble, however, is when bad!fic tries to lump itself in with the good!fic, or in other words, when the writer of one intent (social approval) tries to crossover into the audience of the other intent (literary merit), but methinks that is a post for another day.

Anyhoo, the appearance of bad!fic delights me: it means that the seeds of good fic is already set in place, that people are writing, thinking, being *involved* as fans instead of simply lurking and taking from fandom. It means that eventually all the stars will be in alignment again someday, and that someday we'll have an immense creative burst from many many writers of tons and tons of blindingly hotgoodintrospective and looooooooooooooooooooooooooong fic like what's happened with the Smallville fandom.

Only hopefully without sinking into the dark sucking pit of blackneverendingANGST that a lot of the Smallville fic dips into...'cause I kinda like happy!fic too. So there. ::sticks tongue out::

lol I love extremely cracky fic. They are my life's blood. ^_^

And nah, This is one of those entries that I get random pings on 'cause I linked to it in my journal style. Still haven't changed my opinion. XD

How did you happen on me, if I may ask? =)

I'm not completely certain how I found you, actually... I usually find people, save the link and lurk a long time before I manage to make any contact, if at all. I think it has mostly to do with my laziness, really. And I only get around contacting anyone at all when I feel we share some opinions. :) Besides, when I get around to do something, I tend to exaggerate. Notice how this comment keeps getting longer, and longer, and longer... XD

Most likely it was the kakanaru community, though... I like the pairing and feel it's tragically unappreciated. Le sigh. It doesn't really help I'm such a pervert either, so I have a motive to be thorough with my search. XD

A side note: I actually managed to draw something with this pairing. Yay?

...Too bad it's a Twilight crossover parody-thing. *headdesk* I have only seen those movies thanks to my bad movie-hobby. Then either my friend or I suggested I might dream of this crossover and things left from there. XD

Aaanyway, it's really hard to find a good!fic of those two and while I adore bad!fic, I don't have any energy to contact the people who write them. I like your fics and I think I'll comment some... sometime. Yeah. Sometimes I wonder why I'm so good at school, I barely make any effort and I'm not like Shikamaru. XD

ahhh, yes the comm. <333 I'm so glad I found that place, XD found many more ppl willing to chat about the pairing.

::fistbump of perv unity::

YAY ART OMG POST IT POST IT POST! ::hops up and down::

Heee, I'm glad you like my fics. =D ty for letting me know!

And one of these days might actually participate in something. XD It's very crucial that us perverts stay united, after all! <3 We need to show that pervyness isn't exclusive to males. XD

Ah, I have actually posted it in my deviantart and my own journal... And I have considered posting it in some community, but I don't really know which one would be appropriate. It's a very strange fancomic, after all. XD

But if you are sure you want to see it, here be the link to my post:

One of these days I'll comment one! I can do it! XD

::GIGGLEFIT AT COMIC OMG:: XD

JUST POST IT TO THE KAKANARU LJ!!! is not hard! =D BE SHAMELESS! ::POINTY FINGER!::

[erimies.livejournal.com]

That is probably the best reaction to that comic for me. XD I'm glad you like it~ And now you have the idea what kind of things I draw. Of course, that one is pretty innocent, at least compared to the one where Jiraiya made Naruto dress up like an oiran. ^_____^'

HAHA, okay, I'll do it later. But I'm blaming you for provoking me. XD

Great, now an image of Gai and Lee doing sparkly thumbs up won't leave my mind. XD
