@Angel Emfrbl : Did you see my answer about askblogs on this thread ? If you don't want to answer it's fine, but if you're okay with that I would have liked to have a better understanding of your point of view. I'm copy-pasting it here. Again sorry if you saw it, especially since it's kind of a wall of text.

"First of all, every askbloggers I've seen are perfectly aware that Miku, and any VOCALOID for that matter (even though some of them have little backstories), is nothing but a cd with a face slapped on the box. Actually it seems to be one of the reasons they made an askblog in the first place : they wanted to share their headcanons.

Then why would it necessarily be a « subtle bad fanfic with nothing really behind it » ?

Lots of askbloggers seem to have put work on their headcanons and are aiming to make « their » character interesting and not 2D as you described it. Some of them even are open about it and take in account any (constructive) criticism about it. Of course it would be better if an askblog owner answered instead of me, since I am only assuming.

However, I do agree that sometimes (especially when interacting with somebody else) the situation will turn silly and/or weird. But I think it is only the result of improvising while not aiming to be serious at all. I saw someone describing it as « silly crack ». Now it happens more often on certain blogs than on others. But I've seen lots of « serious » stuffs too, where the mod seems to want to add « depth » to the character.

I don't want to start an argument, it's just that I would like to know what kind of stuffs you've came across and what is bad fanfic like for you. Also sorry if I sound aggressive I'm bad at wording.
