looking. at you
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.
it IS a little funny when i have some kind of Home Maintenance issue in the middle of the night only to realize that part of the reason i'm dealing with this now is because the previous homeowner ALSO had this issue and instead of fixing the problem, you know, CORRECTLY, decided that a solution involving duct tape was the ideal method of fixing the dryer
btw the dryer hose clamp cost me $2.98 and took approximately five minutes to fix
this has finally inspired me to start my bitchy hand-illustrated manual/maintenance log in case the next homeowner is like "why the fuck did he do that" or "what the fuck kind of filter goes in this furnace" or "oh god where's the water shutoff"
so far, i'm planning to organize it with:
emergency info (shutoff locations, emergency numbers)
major appliance info and maintenance recs/logs
stray projects
notes on local repair businesses and who to avoid
so, without notifying patients, planned parenthood has switched from their former extremely difficult to register for patient portal to mychart, but instead of having a grace period for this changeover, they say on the voicemail that they just won't take prescription requests by phone AT ALL any more. so now i don't have my testosterone listed in the new website after it already took another 20 minutes just to create a fucking account and i still don't know how to request a fucking refill.
i'm just gonna call and ask but man. really poor way to do this

one of the "gender is fake" discoveries i made while transitioning is that, like, gendered cuts of shirts do SO MUCH to change a persons silhouette? like a goof 20% of the "biological difference between men and women" that people imagine is just shirt cut. its just clothing cut. its insane.
hopefully i'll get to do something other than endure soon. that would be really nice
i'm actually curious, what trinkets do you guys have on your keychains? 🗝️
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, suck a fellow off to completion, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

there’s something about becoming older where everything feels finite. summer isn’t endless, love isn’t eternal. you move homes, your favorite boots fall apart, your dog dies. everything feels consuming and beautiful when it is believed to be eternal. now it is all precious. everything. and there is a melancholy that comes with it.
for committing the thought crime of empathy now that genocide has been effectively normalized by those in power
