let’s go nonaheads!!!!
i'm actually curious, what trinkets do you guys have on your keychains? 🗝️
re: lrb that is a huge reason why i find tradpub novels that started as fanfic soooo freaking fascinating. because its more layers for the cake... if fanfic is already a discursive layer on top of a canon, then an adapted fanfic is an additional layer on top of that. ie the endless bounty of shudconlya, or with kylo (starwars) and ben (headoverfeet) and adam (thelovehypothesis), looking at all three layers gives me so much to consider in terms of what was important to ali at each stage, what she preserved or changed and why... and now with the movie i get another layer... its just so fun
one argument you often see about fanfiction is that it's like 'training wheels' writing? like 'oh it's fine to do that while you're still learning, it's easier than coming up with your own ideas'. and I have to say I have just never agreed with that.
in my experience it's actually pretty common for newbie fanfiction writers to gravitate towards coming up with OCs rather than writing about the canon characters (hence the infamous Mary Sue); this suggests that many people find that 'easier' than attempting to write about pre-existing characters.
I would say that recreating the characterisation, mood and general vibes of an existing work of fiction is in fact a skill in and of itself that's acquired via practice. A common compliment delivered to fanfiction writers is how well they have captured the spirit of the original work. Inexperienced fanfiction writers fail to do this.
When creating an original character you can, ultimately, say anything about them and now it's canon bcos you created them and you said so. conversely, well, if you are covering a well known song and start playing the wrong notes people will notice immediately.
In addition: a lot of fanfiction, IMO, is in actuality a form of metafictional literary analysis. a story where two characters sit down and talk about their feelings about a canonical event? literary analysis, which is of course a skill. Sometimes fanfiction is bad bcos the writer is not good at interpreting texts.
finally I have made this point before but you never really see anyone suggesting that fictional works based on existing public domain texts are on 'easy mode'. is it 'easier' to write something based on a copyrighted work than a public domain work? Of course it isn't.
I know I said 'finally' but I forgot a point:
A major strength of the transformative work is its ability to create dramatic irony. If a fanfiction's emotional resonance is dependent on being familiar with the source material that's not necessarily a bad thing. sometimes it's a sign that the author has done a really skillful job of engaging with said source material.

Think about it, Chuck and Blair going to the movies? Chuck and Blair holding hands? We don't have to do those things. We can do the things we like.
i accidentally made myself really emotional over chuck and blair on my drive to work lol theyre just so wonderful ... theyre both such bad people ... i love them ... i mean sorry blair is a perfect princess who has never purposefully ruined anyones life and chuck is an irredeemable evil. my baddd but anyway i love that their general arc over the course of the show is a deconstruction of the "i can fix him" type of narrative. not on purpose obviously but because it is in the interest of the show's tension/ratings/etc to keep them breaking up and getting back together. but then what that means for their narrative is blair has to continually realize that attempting to "fix" chuck is not going to serve either of them, and he has to realize that he must meaningfully change before they can be together for real... s4 finale the wrong goodbye you will always be famous... but ultimately their characters are written as foils and that will always be what brings them back together. i love when bad inconsistent writing works to serve a narrative that way. its so crunchy. i know every bad thing you did because you did them to meeeeeeee
do u really believe that or did you hear it from someone you think is smarter than you :T
Let This Darkness Be a Bell Tower
by Rainer Maria Rilke tr. Joanna Macy
Quiet friend who has come so far,
feel how your breathing makes more space around you. Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell. As you ring,
what batters you becomes your strength. Move back and forth into the change. What is it like, such intensity of pain? If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine.
In this uncontainable night, be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses, the meaning discovered there.
And if the world has ceased to hear you, say to the silent earth: I flow. To the rushing water, speak: I am.
