Seriously? I mean...Really?

Wow. So...any of you on LJ who follow thecortex community know it's the notice-board comm for Firefly fanfic. When I first entered fandom, I was happy to get mentioned on it, 'cause I figured it mean people were reading.The stuff they mention lately, though, makes me vomit in my mouth.
browncoat2X2 and I had a discussion about our cattiness or lack thereof regarding quality in fic. I staunchly believe that if I'm being catty saying that 50 percent or more of stuff being circulated on that comm is CRAP, then...rowr. I'll be the fecking cat.
I hate to link to specific fics...but check out the issue from today: http://community.livejournal.com/the_cortex
And try and find the fic that references this: Binky! The color red! Slashy death!
And then please, please tell me I'm being catty, because I will give you one long, slow blink. And then I'll ignore you.
I'm starting to see Mal4Prez's point about the smutathons...gah. It makes me itch to write better fic. Please shoot me if I ever write anything like When the Cold Comes In, or any of my PWP stories again.
In other news...I'm thinking of starting a ficathon that BSR people AND LJ people can contribute to. I'll set up an archive and everything. It's basic premise is the Secret Past-athon: People contribute prompts for secret pasts of any of Serenity's members, and then people pick three prompts they'd want to do, I assign them one, and they get to writing!
Book's secret past as a Watcher...or a fry cook! Duh-duhn...I knew him and Wash had some significant look-age going on.
Inara's secret past as a nun! Bwaha...or Kaylee's as an assassin. OOOH.
Whaddya think? Anyone in the mood for inspiration? And if anyone mentions blinky...I'll kill 'em worse than Jayne did Mal.
