NAYRT - The bottom line here is that some of us ITT believe there should be different standards of etiquette for fanfic writers as for writers of original fiction, and some of us ITT believe the standards of etiquette should be the same for both.

I fundamentally disagree with you that there should be different standards of etiquette for each. In fact, I find it laughably absurd that a fanfic writer would argue there should be different standards of etiquette afforded to their work than to a published author's work.

The simple fact that we can very easily contact each other and ask/have a conversation about it is what makes it different, so not reaching out when it's so simple to do so comes across as very rude to me.

So you're saying that if you could write to the creator(s) of whatever text you write fic for, and ask them for permission to write fanfic based on their text, you would do that? And if they said no, you would heed their wishes?

Because that just seems kind of crazy to me. I do not remotely care whether the creator(s) of the texts I'm fannish about are "okay" with fanfic. In fact, I think authors like Anne Rice, who attempt to stop people from publicly sharing fanfic based on their works, are belligerent, controlling, and lacking in perspective.

Read what I'm writing. This is not what I'm saying. Finishing someone else's fanfic is not making fanfic of that fic. These authors don't have to share their fic, so ask before you post something you are not owed. Completely ignoring their opinion is rude, plain and simple. That is what I'm saying.

Like are you trying to miss the point? Obviously you don't need to contact published work, because being a fan of their work is not the same as being a fan of a fanfic creator's work. Like seriously.

Yes, it is.

Obviously you don't need to contact published work, because being a fan of their work is not the same as being a fan of a fanfic creator's work.

Yes, it is.

Completely ignoring their opinion is rude, plain and simple.

In this case, no, it isn't.

Like are you trying to miss the point?

I've been thoroughly wondering the same about you. Pretty sure you're just thinking with your feelings, though.

I'm a different anon than the one you're arguing with, and hoooo boyyyyy reading this thread was horrifying, I hope there's not a lot of people like you in my fandoms because this whole mindset is so rude. If writing endings for someone else's fic is okay then, like, should drawing fanart of someone else's OCs is okay to you too?
this is just so wrong.

nayrt

Lmao, drawing fanart of your OCs for free is excellent, what are you talkng about?

WTF?

[(Anonymous)]

Are...are you TRYING to defeat your own argument? Drawing fanart of someone's OCs is ABSOLUTELY fine. Like, that's not even a debate.

[(Anonymous)]

I would love it if people drew shit from my fics, including OCs!

should drawing fanart of someone else's OCs is okay to you too?

I'm assuming you're trolling, but on the very small chance you're not...

Yes. You have literally defined all fanart. If fanart is okay to you then drawing art of someone else's OCs is okay to you.
