FanFiction is a great test of your knowledge. You have to create a world off of one already created, pull the same magic, keep the characters within their same realm and personality, all while coming up with your own original plot and manipulating it to your advantage. If this process doesn't sound exhausting or something like a challenge, you need a little wake up call. Sure some author's say they don't like FanFiction, or they don't personally endorse it, but I do.
Wanna know a secret? Cassandra Clare, one of the best known author's of today's age has stated she got her start in writing from FanFiction. Everyone has a passion, so let it be known! There are amazing FanFiction's out there, because people put their heart and soul into keeping the magic of a book, movie, TV show, and more alive. It's not a matter of copying someone else's hard work, it's showing their love, willing enough to let complete strangers read their work and judge it.
There are sometimes things out there in the FanFiction universe, which may seem strange or out there, but that's the joy in writing. Have you heard Not Literally's new song "I Ship It!"? It's a cover of a song they love, "I Love It" by Icona Pop and within three minutes they describe a whole universe of people who aspire to be writers and more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCDgJiPBxfI
FanFiction is not a crime, it's a passion. Besides, anyone who has read and predicted what they think might happen has been writing FanFiction, even if it never made it to paper. Don't ever be afraid to let your feelings or thoughts be known, it just shows you are willing to write, no matter the subject.
