I have to say there is a lot of REALLY REALLY bad fanfiction out there. I have never read fan fiction before for any show I have enjoyed but with this hiatus I've really kinda gotten into it. I've read some where you think 'ekkk, do you even know these characters because you are having them speak in ways they NEVER would." I find that a lot with people who want to make Sam and Andy into this gushy couple tend to put words in Sam's mouth that he would never ever say. That is why I love it when I read great stuff by lots of the authors who are posted here because when RB fanfic is done well...its done brilliantly! |

While I agree with you that there is some bad fanfiction out there, some of the 'Sam characterization' you actually can't blame the author for. I've been writing since season 1 and Sam's character has really evolved. Some of my favorite stories are actually now way off base about Sam but they are still a great read. Also, maybe this is just my POV because I have gotten nasty reviews (the "best" one being a comment about 'do you just read other fic and base your stories off of them which had me rolling in hysterical laughter til I started crying cuz I thought it was so funny) but sometimes authors write what they feel. My last story got some "I don't believe this would happen" --> guess what, I don't either but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't write it and share something that I wish could happen |

I'm really glad people are enjoying my story. With the week I've had, all the comments/reviews have really made my week! The next chapter will be out this weekend. Cythy, I agree with you about the "this wouldn't happen" type of comments on fics. I mean, part of the fun of fanfic is being able to explore things that might not happen on the show. Before I started writing my current fic, I started writing a very dark story that I know will never happen on the show and to be honest I'd never want to happen on the show, but it makes for a great fanfic! |

Yes Yes Yes. I can honestly say that if I'd had any CLUE that they were planning on taking Sam in the direction they took him in S3, The Distance and The Witness would both have been very different stories. |

Exactly, cythy, that is why they call if FICTION. However, while it is obviously more preferable to read a story most in character, it is hard to do when they keep evolving on us. |

Funny, I don't see how you were off the mark too much? You, at least add the tension and drama that we all know is going to happen, but just don't want to see. And YES, it is nice to have some fluff sometimes, but I think I agree with evelina, when she says that some shit is just TOTALLY OOC and off the rails. There is a lot of that, in fact. |

I guess I hate to call anyone out over it just because it IS fanfiction. I mean, no one here is trying to be a professional author. And I think fanfiction really should be an interpretation of the characters as YOU see them. If the readers don't agree with you, oh well. But staying true to your own instincts and your own vision is important as you develop your writing. |

I agree 100%, but you also have to agree that if that is the way some people view the characters, they must not be watching the same show. See my new thread as an example. |

*LOL* I know what you mean. But I think perception is relative and depends on lifestyle, upbringing, exposure to certain things. You cant expect two different people living two different lives to see and interpret things the same way (especially when so many things have been left open to interpretation recently). |

I agree. The way Sam and Andy talk and their mannerisms (Andy looking at the ground all the time, Sam using his hands to talk when he's mad, etc) they are all reflections of who they are as actual people, the way they portray themselves as actors. So when someone writes something that you could never see the actors say or do, it just feels like we're reading another fiction story instead of an extension of the show, Rookie Blue. I think writing the personalities of Sam, Andy, Oliver, Gail, etc are all very difficult things to do. Writing the characters, for some authors, doesn't look like their main priority. They may have written a great storyline though! In those cases I keep reading because it takes a lot of guts to put stories out there for people to read and critique. I'm kinda cringing to admit but I posted my first fanfic this week. I swear I thought I was going to throw up when I hit publish! I know I'll get better at it, but writing Sam's personality was important to me. Margie - I thought you wrote Sam really well, even for S3. I haven't read The Witness yet though, it isn't complete right? I try to wait to read completed stories because I get all invested in the stories and am impatient. For example...Placebo was one of the first stories I ever read...Kezzaz83...hint hint.

@photogfan - thanks for that! I appreciate it (it really is something that eats at me every time I look at The Distance). And as for the Witness, it's not complete, but it probably won't be for quite a while. As long as it's taking me to crank out the newest chapters, it could be another 6 months before it's all tied up. And what story was yours? I don't normally troll ff.net unless Im looking for something specific, but I'd be interested in reading yours! (and that nauseated feeling? It doesn't go away *LOL*) |

Oh gosh. You want to read it? I think I'm going to be sick! Seriously. LOL. I actually thought of you while publishing because I wrote it before I read "The Distance" and thought maybe I shouldn't post it (since it briefly has running in it). I really loved The Distance (and it's 2 sequels). Ok if it's going to be 6 months before The Witness is done, I'll start reading it now. Here's mine...excuse me while I go throw up... http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8600801/1/Trouble |

*LOL* Calm down! I'm going to save it for work if that's okay :) 3am gets to be a little boring for me. ETA: Also, as much as I'd like to claim otherwise some days, I don't hold a copyright on Andy and Sam running. :) Don't worry about that. There is one trick to sort of subdue the anxiety. Wanna know? . . . . . . . . . . Write more. Post more. It's still nerve-wracking, but somehow it gets to you a little less every time. :) Edited by margie311, Oct 12 2012, 09:18 PM.

ooook. I'm calming down :) :) Maybe... I do have another story all written and finished and three in my head. Is this how it starts? The addiction to writing?! I'm having fun at least
