Something I've been considering lately, I might actually write a frerard after WOR is done. Good or bad in your opinions? I'm aiming for a story with less length, maybe only in five or six parts, but I've got an idea that might work. Maybe it's all the frerard I'm reading lately rubbing off on me XD
And to all you who know the MCR livejournal fanfic world way better than me, any communities where I can post WOR or any of my work? I've been searching and it's all fucking SLASH. There's nothing wrong with slash, or pairings, but the fact that WOR has neither really crimps my style. Are fanfics like that really that rare/unwanted? D:
Speaking of fanfiction, since I finally have the time to get back into reading it, any recs? I'm good with anything really.
And what's YOUR favorite fanfiction you've read? Most memorable?
I'd have to say mine is "The Dove Keeper" by underwater_sky as my most memorable, even though I've got a ton of favorite fanfics. It was one of the first fanfics I'd ever read, my first Frerard, and it seriously changed the way I looked at the whole thing. I actually read it when it was still in progress. I'd read up to chapter 15 or something like that, but then the memories thing wasn't being updated so I thought the author had lost interest. I randomly googled it one day and found so many more chapters in another area and an updated memories list, and follwed it to the end from there. (I remember obessivly checking it from chapter 50 onwards to see if she updated.)
Really, it set the bar for me with how I think of fanfic and even how I write my own. Petals in the Wind was influnced by it! It was one of those rare stories that made you look back on life and think about shit, and it inspired me and other stuff like that. Like I said, it sets the bar. And to this day, I still haven't found another story like it on the internet. I always try to aim for originality in my work, a lot like that fic was, and it was definitly the MCR fic that changed a lot for me. I cried so bad at the last chapter, laughed, etc, and to this day it's one of my favorite stories of all time.
