OKAY we get it you don't like fanfiction. You've mentioned it at LEAST 3 different times in this thread. (why are you in a fandom space then...?)

Can you give it a rest? As far as I'm concerned it's a hobby. It doesn't mean you're especially bad or good. It depends on the effort you put in. Me? I don't care if a work is just a fun fic, or an original piece , I put a bunch of effort and work in to try and get the best outcome out.

It's the same with OCs. You get what you put into it. You reap what you sow ,yada yada. If you spend a whole day or more of work developing your OC as a character, and you start your story by putting the canons first and remembering that your OC is a guest, than hey that's a great fic that just HAPPENS to have an OC in it. If you start writing a story where your OC bursts in the front door and wraps the narrative around their pinky finger the you'll get a 'stereotypical mary sue fic'.

There have been amazing well written fanfictions. And poorly written "original" novels by writers with the mentality of a 13 year old "suethor" (like Stephanie Meyer and Christopher Paolini).

AYRT

Honestly, it's all been hyperbole. I don't dislike fanfiction as a whole, but a lot of people have the attitude that fanfiction is universally bad -- just like people have the attitude that OCs are universally bad. If you're going to sit there and say that the presence of an OC automatically makes a story "bad," then you need to acquiesce when someone says that all fanfiction is bad. Absolutism is stupid.

On another note, there are a lot of people who enjoy and are active in fandom without reading or writing fanfiction, so I don't think it would be so strange for someone who hates fanfiction to be in a fandom space.

Hyperbole fail. You just sounded like you were trying to troll.

That's because anytime anyone here expresses an unpopular opinion, uses sarcasm, or, yes, uses hyperbole, people think that they're trolling.

It's more that bad trolls usually use hyperbole while expressing unpopular opinions to get the easily trolled riled up. Only a skilled master of sarcasm and hyperbole will not be mistaken for a bad troll in a place like this where bad trolls are abundant.
