I've been reading a lot of fics lately (especially with the new potter project up and running) and I've read a lot of stories as well as comments about bits of them. People talk about how the story was good but the formatting was off, or you didn't represent the characters the way they would have, or theat you didn't use commas correctly. But what does it really come down to? What in the end makes a fan fic good? Is it perfect formating? Remembering to use spell check? Originality? Or does it just come down to what the readers trying to get out of the fic? Anyway I was just wondering if anyone had some thoughts on this! rferret.gif

I completely agree, if the mistakes make the story difficult to read then there's definatley a problem. I just find it especially annoying when people are bothered by something dumb, like in the story they would have done it differently. The stories a package deal you kneo?
