      it's incredibly bleak how many contemporary aspiring writers cut their teeth on fanfiction, a form that actively teaches you to write worse

      "But fanfic is often queer." Great; but did you know that queer literature exists outside of fanfic? It's a lot more meaningful to read legitimate queer stories than to mash your plastic action figures together.

      If anything, the popularity of fanfic has served to erase meaningful queer literature. Queer kids shouldn't learn what it means to be queer by reading recycled Disney IP. You have a lineage. Study it. Honor your ancestors.

      IMO arguing that women need fanfiction is profoundly misogynistic. I'm a woman, and I can read and write actual stories. I don't need training wheels.

      but hey if any of you actually believed in social justice in publishing, you'd be more concerned with Amazon's working conditions instead of shitting your pants because someone questions the value of your Harry Potter slashhttps://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/feb/05/amazon-workers-protest-unsafe-grueling-conditions-warehouse …

      "Fanfic is collaborative" "it's about community" nah sorry it's all corporate IP. Ultimately, someone else legally owns it, and you are choosing to give a corporate entity your creative energy.

          Those of you who claim that fanfic is the only refuge for queer creatives--you were the same ones who tried to drive Isabel Fall to suicide. There are queer writers creating original fiction, but you're actively hostile to them for being too radical.

          So writing fanfic of a public domain work and releasing it under a CC-BY-NC license is *more* corporate than selling your entire book and any future sequels to Random House? Than letting Disney buy the rights to your characters? Bwuh?

          Also, as an aside, writing fanfic of a work actively (but to a minor extent) erodes the corporation's claim to the trademark and copyright of it. It's literally antimatter for the corporate overlords. Staring at their signs that say "do not touch" and touching anyway.

          So do your "fanfic is bad" takes apply to stuff like the thrawn trilogy or does that not count because it's published?

          I’d argue it counts by virtue of George not having written it. I’d argue any continuation/adaptation of source material not handled by the original creator(s) is fanfiction.

          By that logic there's no point to: playing D&D with your friends--or any board or ttrp games for that matter, or video games, or playing or singing music written by other people, or peforming plays written by other people. Like, people write fanfic because they ENJOY it.

          people write fanfic because they enjoy it and that's fine but people also claim that fanfic should be given the same acclaim and praise as original work and that's significantly less fine

          It's really not that deep. Most people just write fanfic because it's their hobby, they're not trying to be published. I enjoy drawing (badly) things owned by others because it's my hobby, I'm not giving creative energy to anyone, just enjoying my time off work. Jesus.

          Literally same. I spend 90% of my time doing academic reading/writing. Sometimes I just want to kick back and read some fluffy fanfic where everyone gets a happy ending. Doesn’t mean I care less about important issues, it’s just a way to relax.

          you saying this is so incredibly stupid. for example, are you aware of neurodivergent people who have so many thoughts about their special interests/hyperfixations that writing fanfiction truly helps them? or maybe people enjoy sub-par writing the same way people enjoy bad movies
