all debates abt the artistic merits of fanfiction fail to recognize the purpose of fic. you donβt 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 youΒ βbestie youβre utterly deranged for this one im eating dirtβΒ
#you know those ppl who are like βfanfic can be good to get started but itβs bad because then you never learn how to write your own from#scratchβ ? lmao#like imagine walking up to someone planting flowers and being like βthatβs a START but ultimately it wonβt teach you how to genetically#engineer your ideal fruit treeβ#like. you have extrapolated a goal that was never implied here
