[Myr] FAN FICTIONS!

[jazziebabe]

I absolutely love fanfictions.. i think they are awesome. My friends call it parody but i don't think it is. it's just another creative way to look at an already magnificent written or screen played work!!

That's a good way of looking at them.

For me, Fan Fiction is a replication someone gives that much respect to a writer they agree to write something about their work.

 

Take comsie's GFD for example, SO MUCH FANFICTION has come from that

 

Or even a published author, J K Rowling, I mean even the big honcho has his own piece here

Don't want to bust anyone's bubble, but Fan Fiction is a lazy way to write ... the background and characters are already developed for you. Nevertheless, some of it (including stuff here) is really good.

There are some strategic reasons for writing FanFiction as well.

I find I have to disagree with AnydM's response that writing fanfiction is the lazy way. Not only have I very much enjoyed a few that are written, and every bit as good as, or in some cases better than the original, MYR, that's definitely to you. Anyway, I too am a writer, and I tried writing a Fanfic once, and it didn't work at all, because I found it was really hard to work within someone else's mold. I find it much easier to create my own worlds in my own mind, so maybe that's the more lazy way to write, at least for me it is at any rate. Either way, I suppose both ways have their unique challenges, but I enjoy it, it's great stress relief.
