(no subject)

You know, there's way too much nowadays that makes it onscreen or into print that just makes me sigh, or groan, or feel like I'm beating my head against a wall.

I mean, yes, on the other hand, there are freaking amazing things out there, like Stranger than Fiction and the Dresden books and blessed, blessed Supernatural. Proof that hey, people really can write, praise all muses and the Goddesses of the keyboard.

But...well, frankly, I'm beginning to lose track of the good stuff in the midst of the bad.

And I'm not grumbling on my own behalf--I don't write, I know that--but on the behalf of the nearly hundred people I know from various fandoms who I know are working on/trying to sell original fic? Stuff that I've read, or else they're just so good that I totally trust that their original stuff is amazing?

It's really, really depressing.
