do you think that people who arent a fan of MCR have the right to write their fanfiction?
im not saying just because we're fans, it means we have any rights at all. but that is it even okay, like reasonable?
idk, i think i would like more insight on it. i just find it a little unsettling.

Any one can write whatever they want, including MCR fanfiction. I don't know why they would want to if they weren't a fan, but they have every right.

[ohvick]

i guess thats true.

[ohvick]

oh ahah , i see spread the buttlove :D

why would you want to write fics of a band you aren't a fan of?

[ohvick]

yeah, its pretty ridiculous.

[crazyforya]

Yes, because it's fiction and not libel.
There are plenty of great fanfic authors of mcr fanfiction that don't like MCR at all. Some people just like to write stories about interesting people or good looking people.

A lot of non-mcr fans read fanfiction too. It's just interesting, not true, and stories. I don't think MCR fanfiction should be limited to MCR fans, because it's all about writing potential and nothing to do with music.

[ohvick]

thats true, its only about the writing.
but i feel that if they arent fans of mcr,
they cant possibly know how they act. or what they'd say.
so wouldnt it just be like, slapping their faces on made up characters just for the fact that they look that way?

that's only if their stories are horribly written. meaning, all dialogue, no detail, bad grammar and spelling, yadda yadda yadda. it truly depends on how well the writer writes.

[ohvick]

even if they're fans, if the story's horribly written. they should improve or stop.

so what i've gotten from this is if you're good, write. fan or not. even if that would be unreasonable.

Umm i think so yeah. I knew some kid who was like not into the music but loved the characters.

I think the fact that they dont like the music makes their stories better. THis kid Cant remember his name for the life of me . Well he made a fic where the band broke up. Thats like taboo in most fans minds. They will do it and put them back together fast. But this kid ended it with them seperate. It was a sad story. Love tragedy closed wounds that never healed. blah blah blah.

My two cents.

[ohvick]

that sounds really cool
