Secret 6 - Fanfiction, professional writing

[Picture is a photograph of the writer George R.R. Martin (an old man with light skin and a white hair and beard wearing eyeglasses, a black cap and a blue shirt with dark denim pants and suspenders with the comic text bubble saying "It sucks!", the cover of the book "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" (a naked man jutting out of a city) and the cover of the "Shades of Gray" book (a masquerade ball or carnival silver mask).]

I'm beginning to agree with some less-than-thrilled authors' opinion on fanfiction. Fanfic should be about celebrating the original world of someone else and sharing stories about it with similarly obsessed people - not money. I've seen people on my f-list write Real Person Fic and then sell it as gay erotica story.

Fan fic is all fun and games until you switch the names and publish it as an original. I get the argument that nothing can be original anymore, everything is derivative, but writing a fanfic and then transforming it and making money off of it is fucked up and it's like a reverse of the writing process.

Go create your own characters, this is not cool. Seriously.
