User blog comment:KillaHawke1/Fan Fiction: Cancerous plague of unoriginality or great companion?/@comment-3999760-20160516080916

Fanfics on the Internet for me is like visiting the local dump looking for interesting things to take. Yeah, a good chunk of fan fiction are often written by inexperienced writers either trying to gain notoriety for their work. A good 15 minute browse through Wattpad and deviantArt can confirm that. Though, not all fan fiction are poorly assembled pieces of text about some OC. Some good fan fiction can make bad source material seem more redeemable and enjoyable, and can compliment the lore and original story if done right. Ultimately, it depends on the level of experience the writer has, and what source material they are trying to base off.
