To say it's a perversion is very closed minded. It's an expansion, nothing more, nothing else. How it's written and the quality within has nothing to do with the fact that the characters are borrowed

I used to think that fanfic was pretty worthless, if only because someone spends so long on a work that will never get them any recognition outside the internet simply because the characters are copyrighted. But I think when you push aside all the shitty fics there's some *amazing* stuff out there, and those kind of stories are, I think, more of a homage to the original author than a perversion of their genius. And it's definitely not worthless writing. Fanfiction introduced me to writing and helped me with a lot of basic skills, like punctuation and grammar, because I knew no one would read my stuff if it was grammatically incorrect.
I can't believe anyone would be so narrow-minded as to call it worthless...ugh.
