"bad at creative writing"

LOL dude. It's fanfiction. Not exactly the most arduous or inspired form of creative writing to begin with, is it?

wahahahaha! I just used the word "arduous" in a reply directly above this! what a fun coincidence!

Yeah no.
Fanfic is on the level just as, if not more creative than the media they're influenced by. Creative writing goes hand in hand with fanfic, it's simple math.
But I suppose that's just your own loss, my man.

Look I agree with you that high school AUs are shite but it's simply not true that fic is more creative than original fiction.

Fic can absolutely be more creative than original fiction, if for no other reason than the fact that most fic explores canon beyond what the original media offers.
I mean take comics for example, 99% of comics these days are simply fanfiction. Some stories are genuinely amazing, others not so much.

Really, it's all a matter of taste, but who's to say that some of the best original fiction is not inspired from another sort of media, and how closely that inspiration reflects it being fanfiction or not.

A lot of my favorite pieces of fiction are fanfic. I love and respect fanfic. But I agree with you. If we're going to talk about sheer creativity, original fiction wins, hands down.

HAH. Not wrong. A lot of people tout fanfiction as an underappreciated artform. And man, for the 8½ people who are really fucking good, that is the case!

But the rest of it. Welp...
