What's ironic about the Nick/Andy pairing is that I've gotten a few guest reviews asking me to give it a try - I won't read 'em so why would I write them?

I also dont want to read about Andy and Nick, and i feel like some of them are not labeled right. Its driving me crazy. If its Andy and Nick, dont include Sams name in it.
Yes! This is really annoying. If someone's gonna write Andy/Nick, whatever - I won't read, but whatever - but don't include Sam and trick readeres into thinking it'll be Sam/Andy. Just clearly mark it as Andy/Nick. If Nick is listed as a character and the summary isn't CLEARLY Andy/Sam, then I don't even open it anymore.

I can't stomach the Andy/Nick pairings either! Anytime both of their names are listed I don't even bother clicking or reading the synopsis.

Fanfic is for me to get another dose of my favorite couple that I don't see on screen to hold me over for when they do get back together, not to feel like they are cheating on each other!

There are so many A/N fics it makes me want to throw something!

I don't mind that they exist. People should write what they want, and it will be a LONG time til there's even in the ballpark as many fics as McSwarek has inspired. But definite yes to being upfront in the summary info.

I sort of feel like this topic should go in the rant thread. I think that the fanfic writers should be encouraged to write whatever they choose, because they WILL find an audience, even if it's not in this forum (at least not at the moment).

I know there have been a great many Sam and Andy Fics that I found hard to stomach but I would never tell the authors to stop writing or posting.

I don't have an issue with them being written - I don't read what I don't like (same goes for authors who I don't particularly love). I just get annoyed when people ask me to write about a couple that I don't support.

All this because you wanted to write a fic about Frank and Andy hooking up? I've already SAID this isn't the place to find your audience.


In all seriousness, I see what you're saying but we're on a Sam and Andy forum... If you ship Andy & Nick I doubt you come on here. LOL. What do you expect?

But why would you want to? I mean... it's a huge group of people who don't ship who you do? That's just asking for grief.

Well it seems to me like a lot of people who are shipping Nick and Andy used to ship Sam and Andy, and like it or not, this still seems to be the most well traveled site for general info on the show and spoilers. I really doubt fans of the show are going to give up that resource bc they switched teams. Also, people here read fanfic. I post updates to dov/Gail fic even though this isn't a dov/Gail website and not many people actually ship them.

THAT'S FINE. But what I'm saying is; you don't come here looking for fans of Andy & Nick's relationship and it certainly shouldn't be a surprise when people don't wanna read fanfiction that features them when they feel like a threat to the couple that most of us here care about!

I didn't say it s a surprise. All I said was that we should be encouraging new writers to write, bc that's the only way they get better. Who knows what kinds of things they might write that even YOU might like someday that AREN'T nick and Andy?

No one says you have to read them.m

LOL okay, I agree we should encourage writers to write more. But forgive me if I'll never encourage Andy & Nick fanfics :yes: :yes:

And I never said I felt forced to read them. Doesn't mean I have to like their existence.



FYI: We can never, ever give up on a damn argument and I'm telling you, it's something neither of us are proud of. THIS IS A DAILY THING.

My point is that clicking on the fanfiction thread after you've written something you might be seriously proud of and hearing post after post of how people can't stand something they won't even attempt to read could probably be discouraging. Which is why I first suggested moving this conversation to the rant thread.

That's all.

The conversations between the two of you never cease to crack me up (and today I needed it!). (ETA: @SAFan23 - wasn't planning on asking you to stop...)

I agree that even Andy/Nick fans come onto this board - it's one of the easiest ways to find RB information. I remember talking to a Landy fan (remember those days?) who said that she came on all the time to find out spoiler info.


As for fanfiction - to each their own. It does frustrate me a little when people place Sam as one of the characters without specifying that it is a Nick/Andy story but as soon as I realize, I stop reading. We can't ask people to specify. On the same token, now that ff.net allows up to four characters, I hate the fact that I can't put Nick down as one of my main characters (because I think that the Nick/Andy FRIENDSHIP is great) when I partner him with Andy in a McSwarek story because then people will think it is a Nick/Andy story

LOL, I'll say it then. I'm always amused by your "arguments" too. But twitter is probably a better place for them. People who don't know you two well might think you're about to come to blows or something. ;)

As for the original grumbles, I don't think any rose to the level of a rant or belong there. But there is the Types of Stories You Dislike thread. THAT would be a better place than this thread to talk about ff.net trends anyone is not thrilled with.
