Where all your fantasy writers go who want to write their own original story but don't want to put in the leg work to build up their own fantasy world. Faaaantastic. Brace yourself for more apocryphal works that are completely out of sync with the worldview and tone of the original text and may or may not drift into bad fan fiction territory. |
it's probably why I seriously dislike fiction and prefer nonfiction most of the time.
I enjoy writing, and I fail to see why everyone needs to resort to the same structures we've seen countless amounts of times. My writing isn't amazing, but in all honesty I'll easily prefer reading online novels if they have a level of originality that stands out from the rest.
I've seen too many people start their first book with some huge, MAGICAL world clearly ripping off a classic. With the forced 'complex' language and weirdass additions, it truly does make a lot of writing look like garbage fan fiction.
