I'm defensive too, I think it's normal. I also like to point out that fanfic really isn't that new a concept, the internet just... turned it into a different form.

yeah that's true. And I don't really see how creating something form an existing work is bad really? I mean if done in a way that is disrespectful of the original author and stuff sure

But...building off of what already exists and doing something new with it is pretty damn cool.

*Rolls eyes* (At other people, not you - I really did roll my eyes!) It's definitely not bad. If it were, 8th grade English classes where you have to write alternative POVs would be screwed. ;) But I mean, that's the thing, people always do it.

And yeah, I think it IS pretty damn cool, as long as it's not disrespectful or something. Writers always build off of one another in some way or another. Romeo and Juliet is pretty much an AU fanfic.

Oh, it is cool. But being cool doesn't make it legal. Just how like a lot of graffiti/street art is cool, but if you're doing it on someone else's property without permission, then it's illegal.

well I agree that people shouldn't violate the creator's rights and profit off of it. But writing based on really old, public domain stuff? Mythology? Why not draw inspiration from stuff that's already? As long as people doing it are aware the thing's not their's and not claiming as such.
