As, for reasons of avoiding work, I poke at Goodfic and spot something that is most likely to be good (and is done by someone I know, which is probally 90% of the reason it seems safe. ><) and close to one of my favorite pairings. [Twas KaiBat. Course, due to everyones using of a naming system that makes no sence, it took me a moment to realise which Baku is was, which was kinda a dissapointment, really. *sighs(\*).
But I didn't click it.
Maybe I'm afriad of it turning out to be bad. Considering I know the author, that probally isn't too likely, but if it is that way, it's a double blow. But mostly... I think I'm just past the ponit of trying, or of caring with this fandom.
It's effort for me to read things. Between my eyes and my brain there are so many things that go wrong, so many things I missread or have to re-read 5-10 times before I can understand it. I guess that's part of why I get so pissed off at badfic. Bad fanart doens't get this reaction at all. Sometimes its an 'AAARG, MY EEEEYES' but mostly it's just a '... wow. This has got to be someone's first art...' type of reaction. It's quick and easy to look at and doesn't give me a headache or a @_@ feeling. And since fanart is a snapshot, there's less you can really screw up in terms of in characterness.
When I read something, if it turns out to be crap, it annoys me alot more then it should because of all the effort put in, and the fact that that one thing will probally be all I will read that has multiple paragraphs the entire day. Possibly because you can't just skim fiction and have you brain fill in the parts you know already because it's fiction. It's not like you can go and say 'Oh, I know abot this part already, next paragraph' unless they're just summerizing crap.
I can re-read stuff I've written or co written with no trouble. I know the story, I know the intent, I can look at the first 3 words in the sentance and I probally will already know the rest already.
And I think my intrest in the show is reaching the last cresent. There's nothing new to debate, all the conversations have been had already, all the jokes have been told. My fan-writing's even been decaying. New ideas are present but the presentation and follow though are lacking majorly. I guess it's time to just pull back and sit on the very fringes. Start working on my own stuff again. Maybe I'll stick to it this time too. *small smile*
There's still GX, but it's much milder, which is probally best. I got so burried in this fandom...
KnN's going to be 3 years old soon.

I think that's all that needs be said...
