Were those franchises a part of the grand massive mashfic that one Escapist keeps posting? Because that's the metric I judge things by!
In my experience that isn't the case. I haven't really observed any collectives. Granted, I write everything I write by myself (don't do collaborations or requests), but I find that fics written by two or more authors is the exception rather than the rule, and there aren't really any noticable networks of writers either.Canadamus Prime said:Maybe not, but you're probably still going to have a dedicated collective of authors submitting a lot of the material. Also I still don't think it's a good metric regardless because, as has been pointed out, how many fans don't bother with fan fiction. I sure as hell don't.
Gee, thanks.Abomination said:The only thing Fanfiction sites prove demographically is which franchise attracts the most desperate, attention starved, and socially stunted individuals.

I didn't say anything about multiple authors writing one fic. I meant multiple authors writing multiple fics. It could just be a small group of authors writing a large amount of fan fiction.Hawki said:In my experience that isn't the case. I haven't really observed any collectives.

Likewise, while I think some franchises lend themselves better to fan writing than others, I don't think there's inherently some fans that are more suited to writing than others. As in, say, being a Transformers fan would say nothing inherent about your predisposition towards fan writing than if you were...I dunno, a Psi-Ops fan. Course, Transformers is a pretty large section on the site (technically at least two sections) whereas Psi-Ops isn't, but that says more about the IPs than those invested in them.
Same potluck as FF.net was in it's time, just less fetters on content. Take warnings seriously because there's minimal moderation on things written considering the correct labels are used. And yeah I've used it the past year after FF.net has kind of dried up for me, s'got some good on there, alot of terribad tween angst writings but that's par for the course, gonna have to wade through the mud for the gems as per the norm.Samtemdo8 said:Are the fanfics there written competently?

I watched the first season. It's...... average if I'm being generous. Two brothers solving mysteries, nothing really great about it.PsychedelicDiamond said:Help me out here: What is the deal with Supernatural? I've never seen a single episode of it but it's been going on forever and there seem to be a lot of people who are way into it. Is it really that good? It's not exactly something that comes up a lot when people talk about classic great television.
From what I have seen of it, every supernatural thing in the history of the entire Earth is real and exists, even Gods are characters in this world seen in the guise of ordinary people, Satan himself is a character in this show.PsychedelicDiamond said:Help me out here: What is the deal with Supernatural?

Um, does anyone? Shippers usually favour certain pairings over other.WhiteFangofWhoa said:I still write it myself from time to time, and never really got the prevailing desire to do that with every character pairing imaginable.
Danny Phantom could actually be perfect for the DC universe. If Nickelodeon was smarter, it could have a good comic book series and live action movie.Samtemdo8 said:Are the fanfics there written competantly?

In my headcannon Danny Phantom exists in the DC universe, is a member of the Teen Titans if not the leader or Co-leader with Robin, and I ship Danny Phantom with Raven.Hawki said:A live-action film of one of Nick's properties?Marik2 said:Danny Phantom could actually be perfect for the DC universe.

I think this is one of those "be careful what you wish for" moments.
