Fanfiction
Them: Fanfiction is so stupid, though. I mean, it isn't even creative writing!
Me: Oh? How so?
Them: Those people just take other writers' characters and plug them into different stories or places or times.
Me: Ah. Like BBC's _Sherlock_ by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss.
Them: ...
Me: Their scripts are basically AU fanfics based on the works of Arthur Conan Doyle.
Them: ...
Me: And then, of course, there are lots of plays Shakespeare wrote just by using or re-working established stories and characters. _Hamlet_, _Romeo and Juliet_, _The Merchant of Venice_, _Much Ado About Nothing_....
Them: Yeah, but those guys are really great writers!
Me: Yes. And some of what they wrote would be considered fanfiction. As long as proper credit is given, and there are no attempts to make a profit on already-copyrighted material, what is the problem? Are you just concerned about the quality of the writing in fanfics?
Them: I guess...
Me: Well guess what? Some fanfic authors today are amazing writers. Some are not. Some published authors of original stories today are amazing writers. Some are not.
Them: ....
Me: So maybe it's time we get over it?
