#WritersCoffeeClub 9/24 How do you feel about fan fiction?
On the face of it, fan fiction isn’t different than all those star trek books.
But fan-fiction’s also the first generation of self-publishing. A lot of crap got made.
Heck, the Mary Sue concept was originally an intentional demonstration of what not to do in writing fan-fiction.
In the end, writing is writing. Hopefully the authors get something out of the exercise.
We’ve never found an objective crap-blocker that isn’t gatekeeping.
