That's pretty interesting [I'm very close to making a new thread because this is very offtopic ^_^;;], so even if you bitch about Fanfiction.net not having any "inspiration" or "originality", you could say the same thing about the OWF FC because people use the OW story?

Sactly why I made this thread. I was hoping it would lead to a surge of new productive topics.
On the Fanfic note, I don't mind deritive work as long as it's good.
Wicked for example was an amazing book and was based almost entirely on L. Frank Baums' original work. Of course, I can see a fine line between fanfiction and derivative work. Fanfiction seems like the writer's happy candy made when they're over-excited about another work where as derivative work
is simply derivative work. None of the unrealistic or childish gaga bullshit you find in fanfiction.
