The vast majority of fanfics are terrible because the vast majority of everything is terrible. TV, movies, and music suffer the same ratio.
BUT, the worst fanfics are so, SO much worse than the worst movies and TV, because with fanfics you can have complete amateurs with zero talent putting stuff online. With more mainstream entertainment, the writer is always a pro, which doesn’t mean he’s any good, but means he at least can write in complete sentences. Probably.
The best fanfics can be as good as the best of any other medium. Good luck finding them in the sea of crap, though!
Aha! Didn’t even submit this one myself, that would be plain faggotry.
Every piece of fanfiction is shit by definition. FoE is shit. My Little Dashie is shit. Past Sins is shit.
At least I know my stuff is shit and freely it it. I know certain people enjoy my certain brand of horrid storytelling so I write to appease their bad taste.
The overwhelming majority of fanfiction is shit, period. Ponies are not an exception.
Of course you can find well written stuff, but you’ll need to be a picky, uncompromising asshole to get to it and even then you’ll be reading seven bad and two mediocre fics for every good piece.
Or you can just have shit taste in literature, that makes everything so much easier.
Twi:Why were they only three?
Celly: The others starved. We have a holiday about them starving to death. Just think, if they hadn’t died, we wouldn’t be here today.
Everyone:disturbed faceOh my god
Me:hahahahahahahahahahainhalehahahahahahahaha

>oddly they seem to also give a lot of the shitty ones there own page
Sometimes it’s fun to pick apart the ways things suck.
I think tvtropes said it was like 90% of all fanfics are shit
oddly they seem to also give a lot of the shitty ones there own page and not the so bad its funny kind

Since the text is the only thing that was changed, a reverse image lookup should be able to find the original.
