How do you feel about fanfiction?

Shunpei · 08-17-2008, 02:55 AM

Some people say fanfiction is stupid, and useless.

Well THAT'S stupid.

IMO, fanfiction is a way to express how the author would have done the series, in their way.

Think of it like...a suckish ending like school days. (If you've seen it, you'll know what i mean) Most people wouldn't like that ending, and would like to write a short story on how they would of liked to end the series. Fanfiction is basically the same, except usually for the entire series.

As you can guess, I like fanfiction.

So you know how I feel about it, how do YOU feel about it?

It's cool when it's made by an educated person.

It sucks when someone without any skills (or even without appropriate grammar) starts creating fanfiction.

Too bad that most of ff is made by type 2 people.

good fanfiction can easily surpass an average original work imo.
losy fanfiction can suck but losy original work sucks too...

Stingy · 08-17-2008, 04:45 AM

i like fanfiction they interesting read, when they are written right

Licky · 08-17-2008, 05:37 AM

as others already said if its fanfictions written by a good author I'll read them becuase you can explore situations outside of canon and its very interesting

Stingy · 08-17-2008, 05:48 AM

all this fanfiction talk reminds of how many Naruto Fanfics out there

care to take a guess ?

**KLoWn** · 08-17-2008, 05:52 AM

Fanfics can be really good if written by someone who knows what he does.

When the fifth Harry Potter book came out i downloaded it from the net and read it, it was awesome, but later i found out that it was just a fanfic, and what's real fucked up is that it was better than the real book lol.

Yes! Anyone who says that now, I'm gonna love them! Profusely! In a non sexual way! (WTF?)

You'd be surprised at how many lousy FF is out there, and even though in reviews they say to have better grammar, spelling etc, but they don't even listen to them.

Kinda weird.

Oh, and there has been A LOT of fanfiction that's surpassed the original work. XD

XD Yes, like I said above, it's happened lol

it really sucks when people write one page lemons

im all for it and all but, sometime people let the lemons dominate their story. that where most fanfic falls

Faust · 08-17-2008, 08:31 AM

Dude, the ending of School Days was tight as hell. If someone wrote a fanfic where the whole story kept the tone of the ending, I'd read it.

flyingwind · 08-17-2008, 05:04 PM

I like fanfiction because it gives a view of how things could have turned out by expanding and exploiting details from the real story.

HappyMojo · 08-17-2008, 07:25 PM

If someone wants write something I say more power to them. Though I'll never read it.

Ryoku · 08-17-2008, 08:58 PM

I used to write fanfiction a few years ago. Now I may not be the best writer but I like to think I do a decent job doing a hobby I liked to do in my spare time. weather or not people will like it is another thing, but one will not know how good their work is unless it is put out there for display and risk the chance of it failing or doing good.

piokasperczyk · 08-19-2008, 11:04 AM

I think that the idea of fanfiction is great, but to be honest I have never found a well-writen one.

molnet · 08-19-2008, 11:43 AM

Fanfiction can at times be more engrossing than its original work. However, this requires a knowing and somewhat educated writer. If the grammar and vocabulary is lacking, there is no way they would be able to write an interesting story. At least to me, grammar and the use of words is very important when it comes to books and similar.
