Fan-Fiction's Growing Popularity - Comments

"There's even published fan-fiction books based off..." should be "There are..."

I really love how she called it 'remixes'.

I think that Fan-fiction is a great way of someone writing out their own fantasy of the famous thing. If the critics say that fan-fiction is illegal, many people, mainly teens, will revolt against them, and it will be a mess.

Ugh, I don't like fan-fiction at all. Sure, I've tried to write it before, but it's never as great as the original. It's basically like making sequels of movies by different directors. It's not original to the storylines set out, people usually don't like it, and it takes away from truly novel ideas.

I cant believe they are becoming fans of fanfiction
If it gets super popular, then we are all screwed.
Don't ask why, cause I don't know.

I've been doing fanfiction my whole life.
Lets see where this takes us.

You mentioned Sherlock.
My life is complete.

I think you're confusing fanfiction with for-profit fiction inspired by/based on other texts. Fanfiction is amateurist by its definition, it's something fans put together because of their love for something (an author, a text, a game, a film, etc) not because of their love for money that can be got from people who love something - which is what drives the publication of DW, Star Wars, Buffy, etc media as well as modern adaptations of older books.

It's interesting that critics have even acknowledged fan fiction at all. I thought it'd forever be an underground thing and pretended like it never existed.
