User blog comment:Princess Callie/Spinoffs and Blacklisted Subjects./@comment-5025667-20131220203100

Actually, my own Pokepasta was deleted when it was first posted here, but was re-added since it was not a carbon copy of Lost Silver/Black and the like. I didn't even ask for it at first, one of the admins asked for MY permission to post it back. And this happened in March.

Either way, I do have to disagree in some areas. Just because a story can be inspired by another does not make it below quality or unoriginal if it does offer fresh ideas to the table. Generalization is what hinders it. Are there bad spinpastas? Certainly, I can name many and even went through over ten copies of Licking that are more than plagorizing it.

The main problem is that the people writing the spin-offs of are inspired by terrible stories in the first place, espically Jeff the Killer and Sonic.exe which are both very unoriginal to begin with. I have, however, not only seen COHESIVE stories based on file extensions and generic killer formulas, but who have, by far, exheeded their inspiration. Same deal with many video game/Pokemon pastas.

Just because something was done before does not make a story bad if they can manage to tell it better.
