In (somewhat) defense of the second half of the secret

[feotakahari]

Most of the time, I finish reading or watching something, and I think "Okay, that's it. That's enough of that world." Like Dark Souls, for instance--it's dreary, it's angsty, everything's falling apart, I get that. I don't even care about Dark Souls 2, let alone fic set in that world.

But at the same time, no story has the time and space to cover everything, and some characters will wind up neglected. If, say, you like Fire Emblem from Tiger and Bunny, and you're devouring the drama CDs to see him/her/I-don't-even-know-it's-Japan get more time in the spotlight, is there really a difference between that and reading fanfiction? They're both ancillary materials.

And of course, sometimes the author makes a Big Stinky Oopsie, and it's up to the fans to write fic that fixes that. I saw a great essay once on why the Ender's Shadow series is inferior to fanfiction, the upshot being that the character development that occurs in the series would logically prevent some of the events of the Ender's Game series. In a fanfic, that could happen, but in a canon work, the author has to twist his own characters OOC to keep them from redirecting things.

I guess all I'm saying is that this secret feels a little too dismissive.
