Re: Speculation: mocking badfic makes your own writing worse

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it has a negative effect but I definitely think it doesn't have any real positive effect either. At the end of the day there's a million ways to be a shitty writer, and studying those ways doesn't show you how to be a good writer, it just shows you a few of the more obvious mistakes to avoid. And, I mean, I think most people who are halfway serious about writing could figure out how to avoid the kind of mistakes you see in really terrible fanfiction on their own. It's not like the flaws these works have are subtle or anything.

I guess what I'm saying is there's some merit to the idea that looking at interesting failures can teach you lessons, but most shitty fanfiction isn't interesting in that way. It's just funny and stupid.

Agreed on your last point especially--it can be instructive to see where a good idea failed because the author didn't think its consequences through, or how a story that started well went off the rails. But nobody is going to learn anything from sporking My Immortal.
