When I saw this topic I kind of wished I could be part of it so bare with me a moment.<br /><br />This has been a heavy topic in the m/m romance world. Unfortunately, one writer who's seen huge success with his book has been bashed because people thought he plagiarized the gay movie Shelter. One of the comments was its not that great of a book and was most likely overdone fanfic. There have been other instances of people bashing fanfiction for one reason or another but the bottom line is, like it or hate it, it's where a lot of writers, not the majority, but a large number of them got their start. <br /><br />I started writing in my mid to late teens and wrote stories about my favorite band without even knowing it was fanfic and actually, wasn't aware of such a thing until my mid twenties. However, I didn't delve into it until my 30's; only then did I start writing my own. It gave me confidence to write my stories and let other people see them because before I joined a fanfic community, I was scared of showing my work to anyone. <br /><br />Of course being part of Erotica Writers helped as well but the comments and critiques from the fanfic community gave me the cahonnies to publish.<br /><br />And now here I am. Still learning, building an audience and I'm no longer scared. Seeing my old work makes me cringe but one day I'll go back and rewrite. (Yeah sure, I'm dreaming there.) I also run my own Duran FF blog and still write fics for my closest FF buddies for the holidays and their birthday's. In the Duran fanfic community, I've built some friendships that hopefully will last a lifetime. They've supported me just as much as the friends I have here at home to do what I can in writing.<br /><br />All in all, if it weren't for fan fiction, BL, Michael, and Rawiya might have been trapped in the warped mind of Sharita Lira without an opportunity to come out. Those who have started in FF whether it Real Person or TV Show, movie, etc, have made an impact on the writing world and unfortunately, a lot of people are envious of the talent that's come from that. Whether its Twilight, Supernatural, or Duran Duran, its's perfectly fine to be inspired by something or someone. As long as you're not infringing on copyrights, it's fine and fair game. <br /><br />Sorry for the lengthy comment. I had to say my piece.<br /><br />Nice post ladies!S.Lirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787307019842983456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932574201336465335.post-24645383590526732162012-03-26T07:44:38.270-04:002012-03-26T07:44:38.270-04:00Well done ladies, that was "fan"tastic *...Well done ladies, that was "fan"tastic *giggles*<br />Loved the stories.
