Oh, I don't know about the hard part being the world-building and characters/character dynamics. Every original story I've ever written or tried to write has that completed, because brainstorming and outlining are so much easier for me than writing it out. Of course, this is just me. :)

I'm sure many people feel like different parts of writing are difficult, and I probably shouldn't have been so general in the ease of writing aspect. I hate writing but once I know the lay of the land as it were, writing feels like a breeze. I can't outline worth shit, tbh.

However, that was only one aspect of what I meant. I also meant that a fanfic author has to spend less time making sure the audience knows what they mean. If you start a sentence with "Hermione decided not to do any studying for the week," you've automatically set up an aspect of your plot (what the fuck is wrong with Hermione), or your tone (or your pace even) right there. You do that in original fiction and all the audience really has is a fact. You have to expand upon the sentence to give your audience an idea of what's going on. Furthermore, it is far easier for an audience to like your plot, when they 90% guaranteed already like at least some of your characters and their interactions, and they already feel some fondness for the world in which they live, especially since the fanfiction fans look at is usually self-selected to what they found interesting already, in the originial. I was saying that the hard part of winning over your audience was done.

And that I agree with. :) If nothing else, the marketing is largely taken care of for your story, because fanfiction is a less risky commitment than original fic. Thank you for explaining your point further!

I don't mind at all, since I was being unclear. Happy Holidays, if you're celebrating!
