![[info]](http://piktures.deadjournal.com/userinfo.gif) localfreak | 08:09 pm - Life is TOO SHORT to read BAD FIC
So the interview went well. Sadly, it is only for casual employment which wouldn't be enough to help me escape my current plight. On the other hand, in lieu of better offers I would probably try to do it on top of everything else for the experience alone.
Next one on Tuesday. Eek.
My Wolverine Origins DVD came yesterday :D SQUEE. So I spent the whole evening watching it. I'm glad I did. The thing is with the film is that, when you're not near it you only remember the really bad plotfails the giving consent to the adamantium project and the complete logic!fail of being shot with an adamantium bullet through the brain kills off his memories, thus destroying the ever-creepy memory implant plot but also failing to take into account how thebrain actually fucking works. but when I SEE it, I remember all the reasons why Wolverine is brilliant and cool and marvellous, and get caught up in shouting at the baddies and goodies alike and howling for blood and such.
Anyway, it made me hunger for fic. So, for your entertainment/pain
here are examples of why I rarely trawl for X-Men fic:
(these are real)
Summaries:
Summary: Logan works for Scott on his farm and here comes this young sexy thing named Mari. She's legs like a goddess and the wit like Aristotle, can Logan keep his footing or will he be swept away by the tide of love?
A new student with extraordinary vision arrives at the school. How will he handle his teenage lust for his mentor when it turns to far deeper emotions? SLASH WARNING! BeastxOCxLogan.
Daken, Kim and Maria come over to the Howlett mansion for a family barbeque. Maria has some fun with her cousins. What else could possibly go wrong..? and the author of this one is called 'wolverina cullen' >< THE HORROR
Meet Aleana, a new mutant hired to kill Logan for Weapon X program. see what happens when she's trapped at the School
Two new OCs at the school for 'gifted youngsters', Kris and Tess, find their way through the X-Men's world in a way only mutants can. (getting shipped with Wolverine and Collosus along the way...
WolverinexOC Wolverine and Wolverina take a trip to Japan, and only the expected can happen. Rated 'M' for a reason. ...Yeah... WOLVERINA. SO ORIGINAL.
And they're just a handful of summaries. The majority of fics I find (I'm not saying there aren't good ones out there, I'm just saying I can't seem to find them) are either
1. Like the above. Self inserts to either have sex with the character I like best (Wolverine) or to be his long lost child who is uberpowerful and shag another character I like along the way.
2. Short, generally badly written sex scenes with no real plot
3. Parodies. Enough said
4. Ships I don't like, aside from being ill-spelt. (e.g Wolverine/Cyclops is the big one here as well as Wolverine/Rogue O.o)
5. If I'm lucky enough to find a ship I reasonably like one of the characters (never Wolverine) is going to become an insulting representation of 'gylrig'. Eg he will cry at every moment, always bottom pathetically, and probably get raped by Sabretooth somewhere along the line.
If anyone can find me good Wolverine fic. GEN IS GOOD WITH PLOT. PLOT is more important to me than ships, although if there have to be ships, slash is preferred and most pairings aside from Wolverine/Cyclops I will try.
O.o
