      I do have something more to say about fanfiction and then I'll drop my Rowlinggroaning for the evening I really don't like the A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE books, but they're one of the closer available analogues to the success of HP or TWILIGHT But they don't produce as much fanfic

      Or, at least, there really, really isn't a very robust bibliography of really popular ASOIAF fics. The TV series kinda-sorta has more but it's also a very different kind of narrative I think it's worth considering why the fandom manifests so differently, has a different product

      Part of this is, probably, that ASOIAF was targeted towards male readers, and most fanfiction writers, the conventional wisdom goes, are female But that just explains the comparative paucity of fanfiction, not the individual power of any fic to become esteemed or notable

          Well, and yes, this is true, but Martin, as far as I can tell, hasn't actually been litigious in this respect the way that the big authors of the eighties and nineties were litigious, so it's unclear how much of a cooling effect this has really hadhttps://twitter.com/mode_view/status/1312914054059642880 …

          I mean, GRRM is notorious for hating fanfic, to the point where he has insinuated in past that he would take legal action against it if he could.

          Well, again, there's something interesting going on here, because in theory, the best content in a fandom will always rise to the top, no matter how small the fandom or how unpopular the medium But you don't hear about even ONE especially lauded GOT fichttps://twitter.com/vashti/status/1312915138584944641 …

          Corresponding to the fandom gender divide. Even in HP fandom, there was a divide between the Usenet fandom (lots of theories/primarily male) and the fic fandom (primarily female). Star Trek is the same, although it's less marked today.

          Here's my theory Writing ASOIAF fanfiction, at least in what in the fanfiction parlance is called "Original Flavor", is, compared to writing a Twilight fanfic, very, very hard Not necessarily because it's such an outstanding narrative, just because it's such a meticulous one

          I've looked at some ASOIAF fic It's... okay It's usually really, really obvious the writer doesn't have GRRM's academic background or team of fact-checkers because it simply does not feel like the experience of reading the books whatsoever *every* fic feels kinda MY IMMORTAL

          This isn't necessarily unique to his work There's a lot of Jane Austen fanfiction out there, and since her writing is public domain, people can literally sell the fanfic on Amazon or wherever I used to read it on my Kindle over long nights during my CQ days It's all real bad

          Austen has an unfinished novel, THE WATSONS; it wasn't her *last* novel chronologically but she only wrote like the first ten chapters of it and never returned to it A LOT of authors have pretty much taken it upon themselves to write the last half over the last two hundred years

          Which makes it kind of an organically-generated, collectible piece of interactive fiction I've never read any of it, but I'm intrigued by the idea And, at times, I've been tempted to just finish the book myself for, like, a joke "I've collaborated with Jane Austen on a novel"

          The problem is, this is, uh, pretty fucking hard. Like I think of myself as a pretty good writer, and even taking notes on all of Austen's surviving correspondences, or other women of the period, it's very, very hard to write in the kind of historical idiom she uses

          And that's without getting a whole bunch of other historical details right, like writing like Austen is in fact very, very, very difficult Not because she's some kind of flawless literary genius but because there is a massive learning curve that might intimidate even Tolkien

          Obviously, if you don't gaf, if you let it be a farce, that doesn't have to stop you, and indeed, sometimes an immense, jarring shift in style is exactly the attraction of a transformative work But it's also demonstrably EASIER, and it's harder to engross ppl with something easy

          Stephenie Meyer and Jo Rowling are, as writers, much, much easier to stunt on than GRRM (which is not to say he's a good writer, just that there's no comparison on craftsmanship) Fanfic authors can not only sound like them, but sound BETTER than them So then, why wouldn't you

          Especially when the source material in both cases is pretty much the definition of a "fixer-upper" It can be very attractive to take that power, to do to these pop-culture books what in screenwriter terms is called being cut off at first draft To fix what is so broken

          An ASOIAF fanfic doesn't really have the power to make you feel more of whatever high was you were chasing when you read the books. It can make you feel good, maybe, but not in the same way But Harry Potter fanfiction took what people liked and isolated it, and improved upon it

          It is, in particular, sometimes frustrating to wonder about the extent to which Potter fandom online elevated Rowling like, how much did it aggrandize her celebrity, that she inspired the creative dissatisfaction of people who were brighter, more decent, much poorer than she was
