Re: Arguments or criticisms you hate

[(Anonymous)]

To be honest I wouldn't mind if there was an author who was iffy on fanfiction of their work if they weren't a jerk about it and were aware it was a personal issue. Like I might see how someone might be "ehh" about the idea of something people could write about it.

But usually when a writer is anti-fanfiction they go whole hog crazy "fanfiction is EBIL and BAD and you're LITERALLY HURTING MY BABEHS". That makes me not only not want to write fic but to cross them off my list of "writers I plan on reading".

Especially when they try to make arguments for how it makes you a bad writer or worse writer.

Yes, writing regularly clearly will make you worse. That totally makes sense.

I agree with your first point, but I'm legitimately unaware of authors who were iffy about fanfiction but were mature about discussing why it made them iffy in a mature way. I've encountered too many authors who think fanfiction is evil, makes you a bad writer, weakening their work, akin to [insert painful analogy here] to be honest.

I don't understand why it's so wrong for a person who writes often to be considered "worse" because the words they're writing belong to a fanfiction.
