OP here, I didn't say anything about you being lazy, I just said there was a lack of character/context development.

Bzzt. Wrong. When writers such as myself include multiple OCs in a fic, (myself using upwards of 20 in an epic), you do need to develop these characters in such a way that they will be accepted by whoever read it, and it's a lot of effort needed to make them believable. I myself will spend days researching before I publish a chapter to make sure that I get everything right. No, I don't mean researching canon, I mean going to 4 sites finding out what the marriage customs are in modern China, as well as Japanese divorce law, and how long a flight from Hokkaido to Guizhou would be. Yes, I develop canon characters as well. So please tell me what it is exactly that I am bypassing.

Blanketing all the writers based on the few fics you've seen (I'm trying to assume you've glanced at a few, because if you haven't, your statements mean even less to me than they do now) isn't very becoming, since I know that if you came up to me and said it to my face, based on the more than two years I've spent writing the one I'm writing now, I'd have to resist the urge to backhand you.

And to the "something of consequence" part: This would be better suited for saying to someone who plays video games. Fanfiction can be used to hone skills and maybe a career one day, as well as building up a thick skin to criticism. I see less of this with the hobby of gaming.

It's not like there aren't "serious" works of fiction out there that have built upon already developed characters, plots, and background stories. Hook, Wicked, and probably thousands more.

If you're reading a fic with lack of character/context development, find yourself a better written one. It's true that a lot of fanfiction is general with characterization/development, because some authors figure that the readers, who are already familiar with the characters and story, will fill in whatever is lacking with their knowledge. But not ALL fanfiction is like that. There are writers who really pursue presenting the truth, and will put everything into getting as close to the truth as they can get with their writing. Non-fanfiction writing is the same. That's why I don't think either is superior.

I have found AMAZING character and context development in fanfiction. You just have to look for the good ones.
