I don't quite understand what kind of writers op means. Is it
A) Writers who take a fanfic, turn it into original fic and publish it

or

B) Fanfic writers who publish original content?

[(Anonymous)]

The thread seemed to turn them both into one thing, but arguments against both sides were made.

As in, fic writers should never publish anything original, whether serial numbers were filed off or not. It got ugly.

ayrt

Ok, now I get it.
Even voices against purely original fic? Wow, that sounds intense :/

"As in, fic writers should never publish anything original, whether serial numbers were filed off or not."

That is one of the more stupid things I've ever heard. What about writing fanfic would then exclude you from ever publishing your own original stuff. It's not like published writers don't write fanfic too.

Neil Gaiman has written and published stories about snow white, sherlock and some superheroes, ect. That's essentially the same. And one writer I first found through their LotR fanfic, I then found out they had published original stuff and liked it enough to buy it.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT. I'm not disagreeing with you, that's just what the thread boiled down to. The circle-jerky people who dislike fanfic came out in force for that thread.

[(Anonymous)]

IIRC in the discussion previously on FS, it was irrelevant. People were super duper mad that any writer would delete their fanfic, for any reason.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, you're just remembering one half of the argument, probably the piece that resonated with you. Usually there's a little more nuance than that in the discussions.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not saying that's all there was or that this was the whole argument, though? I'm simply saying that there were people who felt that way.

[(Anonymous)]

Fair enough, your comment following the ones above just read to me like that part of the discussion was the only part anyone remembered.
