Fanatic Cat

I don’t get it. I seriously don’t get it.

First of all, there’s the question of why is she so strongly opposed to fanfiction. I understand that she doesn’t want to read it, but why ask people not to even write it?

Especially when she pretty much flaunts with other fanworks. She seems to adore…

Just finished outlander, and I have to say…not one of my favorites. Don’t get me wrong, I liked a lot of it. But I so WISH there was fanfic out there. It’s a great way to talk about the books, give your ideas for what you like/don’t like, take the idea of the character and throw them someplace else and see how they hold up, etc. I cant really see why people are so against fanfic, for the most part. As the Internet has taught us in the past decade or so…once you put something out there, people will pretty much do with it what they will. It’s like taking your super awesome new kickball, tossing it out on the playground, and not letting anyone else touch it. If you don’t want to share, leave it at home. Your know how you learn to play guitar by watching Eric Clapton on tv and trying out his songs in your bedroom, the school hallway, and anywhere else you can find? Everyone freakin knows your not Clapton, right, and no one seems to mind. But as soon as its written down people feak out. Fanfic gets a bad rap.
