I wonder what the proportion is of people who reblog this because they get the reference to ancient greek philosophy versus people who reblog it because it looks a lot like your standard shitpost.
BEHOLD, A MEME!

#real #not to be salty but this is what ive been saying#like everyone out here really still acting like fanfic isnt really writing#like its subpar and like it cant be good and have amazing lines#even fanfic writers treat it like its LESS and like theyre PLAY writing and not actually writing#like friend buddy ican ASSURE YOU that fanfic is every bit as real and good as writing from books#the only difference between fic and actual books is that books go through several stages of processing and editing and filtering#and are worked on by professionals who studied the craft of editing#while fanfiction cuts that filtering and everyone gets a chance to be heard and to be read#and instead of editors we have peer editing and reviewing#dont be fucking tricked by the mass notion that anything that young girls and queer people are interested in is immediately bad and subpar#bc it is fucking not #i will FIGHT for it #fanfiction (tags by @crossroadswrite bacause they add so much to this post)
The real irony is there is plenty of fanfiction that goes through more rigorous editing than some published fiction. So the difference in quality between fanfiction and “professional writing” is totally arbitrary and made up. Except that some things that are more expensive are worse.
Fanfic has really raised my standards for what constitutes good writing.
Also, fanfiction isn’t affected by a publisher and the market.
Yeah, honestly a lot of the time I’m worried about telling fellow writers that I write fanfiction, because it feels like it’s somehow lesser. But then I remember all the fanfics I’ve read that have moved me to tears, motivated me, and then I remember that the problem doesn’t lie with us.
i’ve been writing original fiction for five years and none of it can hold a candle to the fanfiction i wrote at 17
