I agree as well. Fanfic is something you share and talk about in-progress, and original works are generally things nobody gives a shit about until it's finished. I don't mind listening to my friends tell me a bit about their in-progress novels but hit me up when you have a rough draft and I /might/ consider reading it.

But I'll warn them, too, that I'll tell them exactly what the fuck I think. I'm lenient with reading fanfiction but when it comes to original I'll critique the fuck out of it, especially for my friends who ~wanna get paid to sit around and write all the time~ cause I think they need a goddamned wakeup call.

As an aside, I have friends who write okay fanfic but I'd never touch their original stuff with a ten foot pole.

I have other friends who write both amazingly well and I pretty much worship the ground they walk on.

And then I have friends whose fanfiction is not very good because they're much better at original fiction and tell fanfiction stories in this way that's amazing but like, it doesn't feel like fanfic at all--maybe not OOC but it's like they use canon characters who conveniently fit in a pre-determined story. This is fine. Except that if you changed the names and tweaked just one or two minor things, it'd be an original novel.

Which is fine--but it's not good fanfic.
