i always get confused when anons are sad they can't read 200k kpop fics. do you know how many longfics suck? i'd much rather read a lot of shorter slice of life pieces with good character beats.

those anons are probably too spoiled western fandoms. even the worst longfics in western fandom would be a masterpiece in kpop.

lol this. as much as i sometimes think i'd love to see longfic for kpop, it'd probably be a fucking disaster

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
why are kficwriters so much worse than western writers, then? i don't read westernfic but i see this a lot

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
it's actually just because most kficwriters are really young, with less fandom experience. there are good stuff in kpop fandom that's better than stuff in western fandom as well.

ah, that makes sense. and yeah, ofc there's shit and gold everywhere haha.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
a larger proportion of kpop writers are young or esl

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
i think it's more to do with young than esl

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
+1 all the writers I know are from ifandom and American/European

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
da but.. most europeans are esl?

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
i think it's more the age thing, if anything. i'm esl myself and i think we make up for it with extra attention towards spelling/grammar etc. good writing is often more about good storytelling anyway, at least imo :)

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
da but yeah i find the idea that esl people write worse fic kind of offensive.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
lol so the hint of pressage rising within me wasn't unlegitimate? i'm so deep into english that i barely use my native language anymore so i might not be the best example but if you're really into writing in this language, then it doesn't matter which language you grew up with.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
i don't think so. i mean god there's a ton of non-native english speakers who write famous books, it's not that outrageous to think esl speakers could write good fic lol

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
nobody thinks of esl as people learning it as soon as they start school

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
+1. many good kpop writers are esl.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
idk. i cut my teeth on western fandoms and i have read reams and reams and reams of shit.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
same tbh, i really don't get the hype. sure there exists some really good super long fic in western fandoms, but tbh i most often see stuff that's like 2-5k long and no better than kpop stuff. maybe my western fandoms just suck idk.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
i def agree. first of all i dont have time for 200k, even if i imagine you can get into the mood if you decide to get through it, but.. if a shortfic sucks i haven't invested so much in it

(Anonymous) 2012-10-29 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
sometimes i find that i like kfandom's poetry and pretentiousness for easy reading rather than western fandoms
