Is it only me or are the recent Saiyuki fic offerings in fanfiction.net crappy and cringe-worthy??

I know! I know! I should just shut up and not comment but it's driving me nuts not to get it off my chest. And no, I cannot write. :(

Shutting up now.

(Sorry if I pissed off anyone. Just my personal opinion.)

(I forgot to mention that I also read stuff that comes up on my f-list. Not always, because there can be so much of it, but when I'm online and have the time to sit and read.)

I know you insist that you *aren't* a writer, but honestly, that longing you are describing for stories that you want to read is where we all start: we start by writing the stories we want to read. You don't have to publish them. Or you can publish them only for a select group of kindhearted friends (which is what posting to just the f-list and avoiding the comms or FFN ends up being anyway.)

You can begin very simply, with a drabble or two, or a prompt table where you construct simple one-sentence observations on your favourite characters. Maybe a few of them linked together create a story for you.

I would just encourage you to write, even if you don't feel you can. You obviously can because you express your thoughts and opinions very nicely in your journal. There is no reason why that can't extend to expressing the inner world of your imagination.

On my.... did anyone tell you that you can be very persuasive? I'm almost swayed but thank goodness for my stubborn streak. ^_^

I'm the type of person with a lousy attention span - I'd probably give up before I even began. LOL!!!

But still, I really thank you for your encouragement and will keep your advice in mind. If I ever get a really great idea that has to be written despite my lack of talent, I'll do it!!!!
