Fanfiction - Good or Evil?
SailorYue:
my mom calls fic's copyright infringement when i did writing. but i HAVE done ALOT of writing, tho most of ym stories on FF.net are drabbles/oneshots. i have a bad problem with multi-chap stories. theres 2 stories i wrote years ago in 2 folders that id LOVE to publish on FF.net.
ive also come up with a lot of good idea have DIED in my head because i dont get a chance to write them. my most recent ideas are fir the Sookie STackhouse series, and 2 thomas/Justine fics for the Dresden series.
in anycase, i think fics are a good way for aspiring writers to get started. i mean, half the creative proccess is started (Characters and base-storyline/universe) your just borrowing them, to play with and make your own things happen, then at the end returning them to the shelf just the way they were.
i myself only read storyis that are IN character and with canon-pairings, and thats how i write. i also have problems with stories that go directly against canon (AU) tho ive read a few and even written one, for the most part if something happens in a series, it sticks with me.

Um, best not to mention TDF fanfiction here, since Jim's lawyers have kind of put the kibosh on this sort of thing...

Hey, it's okay, you didn't know any better. :: Gives a hard look in the general direction of the board's answer to Morgan::

I find fanfiction to be a useful tool in fleshing out and even in generating characters. My 'Angels of the Night' characters all have their roots in some fanfic I was planning out but never wrote. I use fic as a tool to help me work on my writing in a familiar, preexisting setting. I take what I've learned writing that and apply it to my original works.
