Why Fanfic [Aug. 17th, 2007|05:32 pm]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
I enjoyed reading this article earlier this week. Cory Doctorow says a lot that I've said and thought about fan fiction over the years. Writers emulate and copy 'the greats' much the way painters and sculptors did (and do), though that doesn't mean that moving into greater originality or professional writing is for everyone. And that it's 'active reading'? ... So true!

Some of the comments are as annoying as annoying things, though.
