User blog:CamperThirteen/Losing my hope in humanity, fic by fic

Or, losing my hope in humanity in general and men in particular, fic by fic. *sighs* Seriously, is it that hard to WRITE FEMALE CHARACTERS THAT AREN'T FRIGGIN' OBJECTS USED TO SATISFY YOUR BLOODY FANTASIES?!

Sorry, I had to get that out of my system.

Now, to those of you that write realistic characters and don't objectify them, I love you and I'll be reading (or re-reading, in some cases) your fics to remind myself that there are guys with actual BRAINCELLS out there. Which speaks for all of my friends here, thankfully. :D

Gah. Just when I was in such a great mood after Sprink's ATG chapter, I go and spoil it by reading the most recent installment in a fic that I had hopes in. Needless to say, it left me feeling rather creeped out by its blatant fan service and author appeal. Also known as, girls parading in skimpy clothes, making out with each other indiscriminately and behaving so completely out of character that you can almost see the grown man (not kidding) that wrote it sitting at his computer typing away. *shudders*

I'll go read some TDR now.

Emmy's semi-disclaimer: I don't mind complaining here because, a) he's not a member of this community, and b) I already told him (much more politely, of course) what I thought. I didn't tell him that I think he should either get help or get laid, though. Do you think I should?
