It's generally not.

[(Anonymous)]

Generally most things aren't good.

And really, the whole premise of fanfiction is that there's something wrong with the source material, even if it's just that there's not enough of it, and there's no fanfiction that's precisely equivalent to its source material. And it's not like there's a surfeit of things out there with dodgy characterization.

ayrt

No, it's not actually. It's about exploring the world and the canon interactions, it's about expanding on the source material not dismissing it. The only time this isn't (or shouldn't) be the case it in fix-it fics, but those wouldn't exist if the writers didn't care about the show. Wanting to make a better ending, having it not end at all, or reversing a characters death, means you actually have to care enough about the series/characters otherwise they wouldn't bother trying to fix it in the first place.

SA- sorry, nayrt*

Don't know how I missed that.

It can be about a lot of different things. Fanfiction doesn't have to be just one thing. Even the most direct, faithful fanfiction is changing things about the source material, and there's plenty of fanfiction that comes out of anger or dislike of the source material, or that rejects part of the canon entirely.

[(Anonymous)]

None of that is to the point of not even writing about the actual characters though. Of course fanfiction can be anything, but at a certain point, it entirely stops being "fanfiction".

+1

[(Anonymous)]

ALL OF THIS!

[(Anonymous)]

You can't properly change the source material if you don't read/watch/play/listen to the source material.

You can't reject canon unless you know it first.

[(Anonymous)]

Course you can.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, I know shit about your fandoms but I already know they sucks balls if a dumbass like you is in it.

[(Anonymous)]

Yet how can you know what's wrong with the source material if you don't even bother to check it out for yourself?

And no, "because someone else said..." doesn't cut it.

[(Anonymous)]

That post was about why people would read fanfiction like that. But if anything, it seems easier to come up with reasons why someone might find it an interesting exercise to write fanfiction like that

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Nada. Ayrt was right, you can't accept or reject something without knowing what it is first. The post is about people using stereotypes as a moniker for established characters. Their response was towards people who apparently think that proper characterization isn't integral to writing.
Simply put, it isn't fanfiction if it isn't about a series or it's characters. Write original fiction if you want to exercise bland stereotypes, that's all.
