Fanfic grumbles...

[katikat]

You know, I have yet to come across a fandom with as bad fanfiction as the NCIS one offers, really. Throw a stone and you'll hit a bad fic. The amount is ridiculous. Not only are the characters completely OOC - which I can understand when something bad happens to them or they are thrust into a situation that they are not familiar with - but the fics feel like they were written by a love-struck teenager. It's a shame that such a great series doesn't have more good fics. Puh :(

And since I'm already talking about OOC - Ezra Standish from The Magnificent Seven. That character displays almost as abrasive attitude as Rodney McKay on-screen with his "Mr. Larabee this" and "Mr. Tanner that" so I just don't get why fanfic authors keep portraying him as kind and soft-spoken! Sure, he does have a good heart but he doesn't wear it on his sleeve *shakes head*

Because most of them are written my very young people. I tried getting inot NCIS fandom and couldn't stand the poor quality.

Then again there are a lot of ghost readers in fandom...they don't speak up and support the good writers,then wonder where they've all gone after a while.

That's true :( So far, I came across only one good NCIS author and that was Kikkimax. She wrote some long case fics that I really liked.
