Re: Fic etiquette question

As far as I can see, you seem to be the only one saying there is anything wrong with it, while several other people have said it's fine. It seems to me that you're trying to claim some kind of spurious pan-fandom authority for a point of view that's strictly your own here.

Also, no one can claim dibs on ideas. That's ridiculous.

I'm not speaking with any authority, and I'm not trying to. I don't go and rile people into a frenzy when fanfic-of-fanfic happens. If anything, I'm just basing my answer to OP's question on basic social skills and experience. People get bothered by it, I've seen it (including in that English paper example), and OP wants to avoid that.

Also, in our sample size of five, I'm the only person who has a problem with it. Truly, anon, this must mean I'm the minority in all of fandom. Wow, gold star for you.

When you're the one person in a thread voicing your point of view, yes, you do need to back up your claim that "good taste" and "basic social skills" dictate that you are correct while everyone else is wrong.

OP here.

Actually I agree with the AYRT.

I can understand that you're worried about offending people, since delicate sensibilities abound in fandom and some people can get nasty when crossed. Truly, though, I don't think you'd be in the wrong--but do what you feel comfortable with.
