Re: Fanfic va Show
Which show?
It really depends on the fanfic. There's only a handful of Futurama stories I'd hold as high as the show, and there's a slightly larger pile of Simpson fics that I deem greater than anything the show's put out in the last few seasons, but every fan author has their own biases and ideas of how the shows could be played out (rather than should), and more often than not, it's quite obvious in their stories. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.
At this point, I prefer the good Simpson fanfics to the show, and the Futurama episodes over the fanfics.

Re: Fanfic va Show
You might as well ask which is the best invention, writing or the Internet. Since without the shows we wouldn't have fanfiction, I find this question a bit wrongheaded.
That said, there are many Simpsons fanfics better than Season 10 and later. I still don't think you can ask this question.

Re: Fanfic va Show
I pick the show, because fanfic, all you do is read in the story & you don't see pictures. But on the show, you watch some fun stuff & see pics that make us laugh.
If Simpsons release only in August & December, here the list in the future:
Season 10 will be out on Aug 07, season 11 on Dec 07, season 12 on Aug 08, season 13 on Dec 08, season 14 on Aug 09, season 15 on Dec 09, season 16 on Aug 10, season 17 on Dec 10, & season 18 on Aug 11.
Season 10 will be out on Aug 07, season 11 on Dec 07, season 12 on Aug 08, season 13 on Dec 08, season 14 on Aug 09, season 15 on Dec 09, season 16 on Aug 10, season 17 on Dec 10, & season 18 on Aug 11.

Re: Fanfic va Show
If you're bored, or maybe just can't finish a fanfic, Imagination just might be the drug for you.
Warning: Side affects include dizziness, nausea, hallucination, bad jokes, sexual experimentation, utopian politics, doodling, vivid dreams, fan fics, cosplaying, and living in your own private world. If attending school, you should not take imagination as it will result in low test scores, boredom, and drawings in textbook margins.

Hey you, out there in the cold,
Getting lonely, getting old,
Can you hear me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles,
With itching feet and fading smiles,
Can you feel me?
Hey You! Don\'t help them to bury the light.
Don\'t give in without a fight.

As for the question Im not sure, some fanfics see the show from angles im not interested in and vice versa. Still, gotta say fanfics to encourage the writers!

Re: Fanfic va Show
Definately FANFICTIONssss... Besides, don't you think the show writers are getting tired of writing already? You can see it from their point of view... Fanfics however, put a new spin on the show and add new situations, plots and characters... Unpredictability... I like!

Re: Fanfic va Show
I cast my vote for FanFic, though that decision is not made lightly. Show makes things easier and faster, but losses quality and quantity in the run. FanFic can bring you so many more places and ,if your mind is well tuned to it, it can paint a picture far more vivid and beautiful than a Tv or work of art could ever even come close to.

There is nothing bad in bumping the thread for the sake of saying something on-topic.
There is something wrong though, when you post in the thread only to say a couple of words absolutely not relating to the topic or offending others...
