Yeah I can understand that mentality over Twilight, it is pretty crappy. But I just don't like the idea of someone taking their fanfiction and editing it to publish, it cheapens the work, doesn't seem like it would allow for much character development outside of copying someone else's characters, the plot may have evolved somewhat from the original source but it still seems like the lazy way out to me. And immoral, and I'd have to wonder that if it was possible for a lawyer to track down witnesses and information from online and prove that the published material had been uploaded as fanfiction for something else at one time, that the author can't still be sued.

THIS. Some of them try to say (about the Twilight fics) that they're AH so they're different enough but they're not really. It's not just the same names they're using. The characters look the same (minus sparkling of course), they usually (not always but often) have careers reflective of the source material (ie high school or college students especially Edward studying medicine or being a doctor), the settings are usually still either Forks or Seattle or Phoenix, and the main premise is almost always some sort of love story between Edward and Bella (often with lots of sex thrown in).

This type of writing where so many elements from the source material are utilized does not create or foster the talent for a writer to create truly original work where they have to come up with everything themselves. I've seen some people here argue that there aren't any original ideas left and while it's true that there are standard tropes a truly talented writer will bring their own spin and touch to those tropes. Their characters will be theirs and they'll conceptualize every little detail from start to finish.

I'm rambling. Sorry. It's just a subject near and dear to my heart.
