Dude, this is a great piece of fanart! I don't think I've ever seen an LBT sprite before!

There are many LBT war fanfics out there, but there are even more non-violent LBT fanfics too. Personally, I believe that every fanfic, expect for the ones bashing LBT, deserve to be praised. The writers spend their own valuable time trying to keep us entertained with whatever stories they conceive, and we should always be thankful for their efforts. Also, to the critics out there, no one is making you read these stories, and we're not charging you money or anything. Appreciate whatever fanfic is out there. Since you can not change what the authors wrote, you might as well learn to appreciate it.Dima02, I may not be spending money when I read someone's fanfic, but I am spending something which some consider even more valuable: time. If I spend my time reading someone's work, I should have the right to form my own opinion about it, whether that opinion is positive or negative. I am thankful that people write fanfiction, but not to the point that I praise anything they type out. Appreciation and praise must be earned, not expected. Criticism is the only thing that should be expected, but the important thing to remember is that the criticisms are only given by others so that one may improve his or her work.
The point I am getting at is even the most outlandish plots and ideas for a story can work if they are written well.I understand your reasoning Serris; my only real point was that without good characters and plots, stories are essentially meaningless. Weapons and tactics are pretty cool, but without real, dynamic characters behind them, who really cares?
