Writing - of any sort, of any nature, is not a goofy-ass hobby. Anyone who believes otherwise is not a writer.

We're not talking the quality of the writing. There are shitty-ass writers and there are people who pen masterpieces. We're talking that the notion itself of writing, of expressing creativity, is something to be demeaned and ridiculed under the umbrella of "a goofy-ass hobby."

Is someone's random bit of Erik/Charles slash great literature? Probably not. But to stand there and say that the action of writing, that the thought of creativity even outside the bounds of the original creator's vision is stupid and silly slanders all writers; fanfic or otherwise.

Nope, I'm pretty sure some writing really is a goofy-ass hobby, just like some drawing is just goofy-ass doodles. And that's okay. Not everything needs to be deep and artistic and significant! Just don't try to dress it up as more than it is.

I was thinking people were overreacting in this thread, but wow you are pretty rude.

[(Anonymous)]

You . . . really can't decide for people what is important to them. I find coin collections silly, but I would not think someone who has devoted their time and energy to collecting them that they're 'dressing it up' when they frame it, display it, are proud of it, etc.

LOL'ing at everyone in this thread (and I haven't yet looked beyond it) who are proving your point exactly. JFC, lighten up, people. Your self-important "I AM DOING ART" attitude about fanfic only makes you look even goofier.

[frozenish.livejournal.com]

Um other people might be calling you a douche but I am stepping in to say that I think you are totally right what is wrong with having a goofy hobby anyway.

[sandvich.livejournal.com]

Thanks, bb. ♥ I think I've presented myself quite badly here, but I do stand by my original point and I'm honestly really surprised at how mad some people are getting about it.

[msloserrific.livejournal.com]

Yeah, same. And there's nothing wrong with that. Plus, no one's saying that you can't take your hobby seriously or put serious pride in it.

[queenoftea.livejournal.com]

Nothing at all. SMH @ all this defensiveness.

Chiming in to show support, because dude. I don't even know that people should get that invested in defending most published fiction as serious business to always be taken seriously.
