Hi. I have been going on and off fanfiction.net for five years now. Love this site. I come here to read the romances…hehe. I am currently a college student devoted to movies, good writing, fanfiction, deviantART, facebook, 30 Rock, Mad Men, and meeting new people.

fanfic categories of interest: Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, Naruto, Harry Potter, Death Note, and Shaman King

I am planning on a RK fic, though I don’t know how it’s going to turn out. I might publish it around the next month or so.

I just want to mention a few things I noticed over the past years reading fanfics. It’s sort of my complaints. Below are just my opinions as to how some stories can be improved on this site. If you don’t agree with me, please don’t flame me.

I don’t like to read romances that mainly focus on physical attraction or male empowerment/female vulnerability. I am not a feminist, but please, don’t always make the male lead predatory and the female letting themselves be feebly pinned down. Women are not that different from men, and they can be just as intelligent, strong, and able as men. If sex and physical gratification are what the story concentrates on, not only is it a degradation to women (that they’re only good for pleasure), there won’t be much depth to the story. This has always been a turn off for me when reading fanfics. What’s funny is that this is really typical, too, in many fanfics. So if you want to be original, put more meaning and consideration into the plot and character development. Love is not only the physical experience, but the emotional as well.

Also, I disapprove of stories with sex scenes. I know this site contains a lot of lemons and explicit, mature content, but please keep it to a minimum. We never know who is reading it. It might be a ten-years old innocently coming across such stories and be scarred by it for the rest of his life. Take out your gratification on adultfanfiction.net.
