Integrity Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 You shouldn't lie, lying's bad it was about two inner-city sisters (from cincinatti?) who got sucked into the world of naruto but conveniently at least one of them had her glock 9 on her at the time it was incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peener weener Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) the problem with fanfiction is that it works with an established universe and an established set of characters with established personalities. this leaves little room for universe expansion and character development, considering of course that a fan of a work will never know the work as well as its creator. what this leaves you with is a genre conductive mostly to wish fulfillment and at best subpar characterization and development. ie it's shit in almost all cases Edited October 4, 2014 by fuccboi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Laufeyson Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Its really a crap shoot. Fanfiction can be fun and really interesting if in the right hands. If in the wrong hands, its bullshit. Unfortunately, its in the wrong hands like 98% of the time. Luckily, i know a couple of folks who can properly fanfic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Times like this is where I casually note that Vergil's Aeneid is nothing but glorified Iliad/Odyssey self (ancestor?) insert fanfiction commissioned by Augustus I'm forever bitter about it dropping my otherwise glorious track record in Latin down an entire 15 points because I can't poetry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 no it's okay I'm kinda bitter at it too because I sucked at translating it but it wasn't awful and the dude certainly got /paid/ that being said I'm in a classics course right now and reading a bunch of old greek plays and I had a sudden realisation that a lot of them are pretty much homeric epic fanfics in essence Imagine if you write a fanfic and it becomes popular enough to be put on theater and are studied in schools everywhere CENTURIES after your death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like to think that some Midrash, which can be "filling in" stories about the old testament, are essentially holy fanfiction as well. I haven't read too many Greek plays (never read Oedipus Rex), but I really loved The Orestiea (sp?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Much of Renaissance art is essentially really good bible fanart too, take that people who give fanartists flak for it not being "real art" But yeah people really liked to make bible fanwork in those days I've read a part of that (Agamemnon) but not in whole, but the prof told us what happened after Agamemnon and I think I'll read it in full sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Alear Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 i'd say the bible is bible fanfiction tbh If you mean that the new testament is just unofficial, nonapproved tanakh fanfiction, I agree completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mewyeon Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I disagree with the two posters above, but I don't want to get into a religious debate. Anyway, I think there are some really good fanfictions out there, they're just few and far between. But I do appreciate them when I find a good one, and some genres/franchises tend to have better fanfictions in general I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
