all debates abt the artistic merits of fanfiction fail to recognize the purpose of fic. you don’t write fic to be published or to learn how to construct a narrative although you can use it to develop style. you write it so that your friends will message you “bestie you’re utterly deranged for this one im eating dirt”
#you know those ppl who are like ‘fanfic can be good to get started but it’s bad because then you never learn how to write your own from#scratch’ ? lmao#like imagine walking up to someone planting flowers and being like ‘that’s a START but ultimately it won’t teach you how to genetically#engineer your ideal fruit tree’#like. you have extrapolated a goal that was never implied here
