(Anonymous) 2015-04-30 04:10 am (UTC)(link)Every time I write a fanfic, a piece of canon disappears! Or perhaps not. I have to admit, it would be amusing (and somewhat alarming) if it did work that way. This is why fandoms die; fanfics eat up all the canon.
Thus it is competing with the original work.
This is a slightly more valid argument, but depends on how you parse it. What about mostly defunct fandoms? My preferred fandom is a television show that's been cancelled for 20 years. Am I competing with the original? Not to mention that TV shows are on TV. When I write supplemental fanfic, how am I competing with the TV show?
If I write Harry Potter fanfic, then yes, I'm competing with JK Rowling in the written media. But even so, despite the many many terabytes of data of good, bad and mediocre Harry Potter fanfic, I still don't see how it has taken anything away from the actual canon.
