Controversial Friday Post

[mousme]

'Cause I'm at work and bored.

Fanfiction. Discuss. Every angle welcome.

As usual, no flaming, no ad hominem arguments, etc. Basic courtesy applies, and don't be a jackass. Arguing in bad faith is discouraged, but not forbidden.


Aaaaaand... GO!

:::ETA:::

I was asked for clarification. So:

Why write fanfiction at all?

What makes fanfiction a valid form of expression (or not)?

What role do you think fanfiction plays in fandom?

Should an author have a say in what happens to their work once it's released to the public?

Oh, I dunno. What role people thinks fanfiction plays in fandom, what makes it (or not) a valid form of expression, whether or not an author should have a say in what happens to their work once it's released to the public, etc.

I left it deliberately vague. I may edit it later if people are floundering. :)
