ARGH! RANT! (My Chemical Romance fans, I'd advise you wouldn't read)
Not that I have anything against MCR.
Oh crap, now I've put that up you MCR fans are all going to read this.
I, being a frantic mibba author, log on to mibba regularly to update and check my comments. Sometimes I check the stories out, if I have time.
But today, something made me a little pissed.
You know how the Green Day tag used to be the hugest one on there, and the MCR was a little smaller, the Billie Joe Armstrong one was just as big and MCR one was middle sized?
Not any more.
Now the two biggest ones are Gerard Way and MCR!
Green Day's tag is shrinking! Shrinking I tell you! It's dwindled considerably!
I click on it, and what do I find?
Hardly any new Green Day fanfictions apart from my own and some other authors.
It's driving me nuts!
All the talented writers that used to have GD fanfiction pouring out the wazoo, what happened?
They've switched over to MCR because it's "new" or have just stopped writing.
I know, Green Day haven't been in the public eye that much. And the news seems to be at an all-time low.
But- but I miss my really good Green Day fanfiction!
You know, the interesting ones that didn't stick to those nasty cliches. The ones that had more then a paragraph when they were updated.
Now it's lucky if they even do get updated.
As for the MCR fanfiction... I've glanced through some, and I admit, some are pretty good.
But, then I took a look through the rest. And low and behold, I found some truly crappy writing, terrible cliches (oh please! If I see one more ferard I am going to STRANGLE someone! And as for the girl fans meeting their heroes in a chance encounter at a concert- if I had a dollar for every time someone wrote one of those I'd be richer then the Queen!) and generally an influx in wanna-be writers who just love getting their panties wet when imagining Gerard and Frank on top of each other.
Don't get me wrong, I hate cliches in Green Day fanfic too. Like the excited fans meeting them at a concert and falling in luuuuuuuuuuuurve and having many little Armstrong babies (Adie's name just seems to disappear completely), or the oh-my-good-God-Billie-is-my-daddy-I've-just-found-out-and-I-have-to-live-with-him-gosh-how-exciting type things, or the I Hate My Life Save Me Green Day ones.
I will say, however, the good authors can go into these typecasts and make them original. You know, just by adding some stuff in that you wouldn't generally see.
But this is what I had been seeing:
'oh my god i love you billie lets have hot horny sex in your dressing room' said cindy. she ripped off her bra and threw it and it landed somewhere on the floor and tre would put it on later but anyway she and billie were going to have hot horny sex.
'okay lets do that,' billie said as he tore off his pants. 'wait, aren't i married or something'
'no the weddings later now time for hot horny sex,' cindy said.
'yeah her name was something beginning with a-'
cindy grabbed him and blah blah blah blah blah
and now this is what I'm seeing:
'i love you gerard lets fuck and stuff and make teenage girls wet,' said frank.
'cool' said gerard.
they fucked
the end
...
The difference between Green Day and MCR fanfiction is generally this now:
Green Day: More quality, less quantity
MCR: A HEAP of quantity, not enough quaility
This isn't always true, though.
Sorry... I just needed to rant.

i said something pretty much like that in one of my mibba journals a week ago or something...i mean about what's in this blog...i should go find it and post it on this...
Kr!sta's Inferno, May 21st, 2007 at 04:47:00pm
I really like both Green Day and MCR, and have found some good fan fiction about both. I have to admit, some of the MCR fan fiction is getting rediculous, but I've found some equally stupid Green Day ones too. Anyways, if you are still looking for good quality Green Day fan fiction, I would recomend checking out some of Pickle's stories.

i dont like mcr and they;re just to in peoples faces at the moment. i think when green day come back with the new album we'll have more teenies to deal with on here and its gunna be a tough year or maybe months after the new album trying to restore gsb as it is now
Sarah!, April 12th, 2007 at 11:37:08am
Even the stories that are on this site that link up to mibba seem to all be about MCR and it annoys me too.
cause i dont like MCR at all.
Ive settled on a story that combines both of them cause its the best i can get
who remembers your my favourite little secret? and hand me down??
better man.. holiday in cambodia? they were all amazing stories.
waiting_a_long_time, April 10th, 2007 at 11:08:14am
yeah
I agree
I like green day waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy better than mcr
(please dont hurt me for saying that mcr fans)

How about everyone on GSb writes a Green Day story. If everyone did something, there would be more stories about Green Day.
Steph:DonaNobisPacem, April 3rd, 2007 at 09:54:58pm
I completly agree, I never write fan fic myself, But i sure as hell read it. I've read a couple really good ones but then they go to sequel and like just stop at one page. It drives me insane, checking back constantly, then finally giving up. I don't even see the point in MCR fan fic. To me personally, I don't know enough about MCR to even connect with the fan fic. Green Day's just so open to thier fans that you actully kinda get to know them and CAN WRITE fan fic about them. I go and check the stories and it's nothing new, People should really come back and write Green Day fan fic. WE HAVE POT! =]

I refuse to read MCR fanfiction. Mainly because I hate MCR, but also because of the cliches. I know there's alot of 'vampire Gerard' fiction as well.
As for finding good Green Day stories, well... they're quite the rarity as well. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places, but I've found very few. I'm quite critical when it comes to it.
I like the guys to be portrayed accurately. I like for things to be well-written. I like proper grammar. And most importantly... the storyline is important. I WILL NOT read slash, ever... and that seems to be what I find the most of.
Teenage.Assassin, March 29th, 2007 at 03:38:12am
I know. it's true. but I dunno.. I'm never on mibba that much anymore, but I do go on there... And the green day stories I've been going along with haven't been updated in forever and they're so good. =[ poo.

I agree with you. I tried reading an MCR fanfic once, I just couldn't get into it. I posted my story on Mibba and I only got two comments, both from the same person. And I have spent so long on my story. Each chapter is more than 5 pages on word.

That's the link for it, I'd really like people to start reading it.

Of course some of us switched to MCR, and you said the reason why in this rant. They're NEW. Green Day hasn't come out with new material in three years. Their fans (including me) have over-worked stories about them. People used to get mad at the GD fanfic authors for not being original enough! What the hell is that?
My point is, My Chemical Romance is fresh in our minds. They're a fairly new band. They're young, they're hot, they're talented - There are going to be a lot of fanfics about them until the spotlight fades.
When Green Day blow our socks off with their new album, and I'm sure they will, I guarantee there'll be a lot more stories popping up.
December Cynic, March 28th, 2007 at 04:46:52pm
Yeah. Im all for quality not quantity and there are waaaay to many MCR stories. Im a fan of both GD and MCR, but it's getting to the stage where if I click on another Frerard story, I'll chuck my PC out the window! There are few worthy of actually suscribing too, though I miss a good GD story (Read my stories; GD at their bestest!).
What Lily says is right; it's everyone jumping on the MCR bandwagon because GD are on hiatus right now. As soon as theyre back, the slack will pick up.
AndTheCowSaidMoo, March 28th, 2007 at 11:13:32am
i wrote a fan fic, but i kinda stopped because it was clihed, and i took a good look at it, and i decided i would change it. Basically, it was a green day one, and the living end were oging to come along in it aswell! But i stopped writting, i should get back on. I love MCR, this aint pissing me off, i understand what you mean. We cant stop people from writing stories like everyone else, i just wish that when people would write a story, they wouldnt just write 2 chapters, and then all of a sudden stop, because it seroiusly annoys me and spams things up!
