More Twilight Fic To Be Published

[(Anonymous)]

I'm probably really late to the party on this, but the new issue of EW just informed me that a fic that got me into reading fic, and that I'm still rather fond of, "The Office" (now renamed to "Beautiful Bastard" I KNOW) is getting the serial numbers filed off treatment. And I feel conflicted because I also read Master of the Universe before it got published and was totally disgusted, by the story and the author herself, and go around bad-mouthing the story and the act of pulling-to-publish in itself.

But tby789...well, she seemed really nice as a person. When she pulled her fic several years ago she did so with the express promise that it wasn't because she wanted to publish, but it's been a while now and I can't quite blame her for jumping on a bandwagon that could make her really fucking super-rich.

But now I don't look forward to the bashing the story is gonna get by general fandom. I mean, it's simply a guilty pleasure romance novel, and as far as I can recall, is nowhere near as problematic as FSoG. But I know it's gonna get a thorough bashing simply because pulling to publish is not looked upon kindly. And I don't look on it kindly myself! But the author seemed like such a nice person, as opposed to Icy who was a massive bitch.

TL:DR, I'm a big hypocrite.

I really hope fanfiction being published into real novels doesn't become the new thing to do.

This is how the printed word will die.

I for one hope it fails. 50 shades existing is bad enough, but it should be the fucking exception.

Eh, whenever I hear about someone who manages to get book deals for their (AU) fics, my first reaction is "Good for them". Even if they did pull to publish. My problems with FSoG are w/r/t the content and the writing style, not the origins. Having looked up Hollywood Reporter article about it, this one at least on the surface seems interesting and, as you say, not as problematic. I probably won't read it, but still, frankly, my reaction is "Good for her."

I am so, so sick of godawful fanfiction getting published and making tons of money.

I'm not even angry anymore. I don't have the energy to be angry. I'm just TIRED of it.

Stupid, stupid publishing companies trying to make a quick buck.

So it might bother me a smidge that what originally started out as fanfiction is being published, sure.

But what REALLY annoys me is they're.. not even good fics :|

Eh, if it's decent writing and doesn't have creepy stalkery shit all over like FSoG, I don't care. Good for her. I've read many a romance fic that was better than romance original novels, so... despite whatever origins it has there's at least a little hope.

As far as I can tell, Fifty Shades and The Office/Beautiful Bastard are basically the fanfictions people rant about for being ooc. That's about the only reason it irritates me when they get that passive association hype.
