Paul R Wrote:You know, I've never actually read any fan fiction and until the topic was brought up on this board a while ago, I didn't know it existed (I know, I've led a sheltered life!)
I can't understand the attraction though. From what I understand, a fan will write their version of a story only when they enjoy the original. But then if they enjoyed it, why would they want to re-write it or make their own version of it?:confused:
It just doesn't make sense to me!
For what it's worth, they were my two cents.
I am so with you on this one, Paul. It's like someone trying to copy Picasso or Van Gogh. Geez, masterpieces should be left alone.
I can't imagine that anyone could possibly improve on the original. If they are that good, why aren't they writing their own books or stories and getting them published.
The thought of reading FPW's fiction written by someone other than FPW is, well, ludicrous to my way of thinking, and a total waste of time. Just my opinion.

Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
