Pagsulat Tanong

Is tagahanga fiction beneficial or damaging?

Well, I write a lot of tagahanga fiction, but over the years it has helped me improve my Pagsulat and it has spawned ideas for original stories of my own. But I want to get some of your opinions. Do you think tagahanga fiction is for people who have absolutely no creative talent? Or do you think it can improve one's writing?

Just wondering.

Pagsulat Sagot

Cinders said:
I've been Pagsulat tagahanga fiction since I was twelve. My stories began as terribly developed plots and quite OOC, and basically, it was all over the place. But it was tagahanga fiction that taught me that it was important to plan ahead. The first outline I ever did was for a tagahanga fiction, before I started doing it for my real fiction. It's an excellent stepping stone for plot development and themes as well, because you don't have to worry about setting or characters. It's already there for you. I've learned how to write thematically, and to build tension and write interesting plots through tagahanga fiction.

tagahanga fiction gets a bad rap. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If I ever wrote a book or made a movie, I'd be flattered if people wanted to write tagahanga fiction about it. The stereotype is often erotic tagahanga fiction, mary sues, and poor writing. But to be honest, those can be found in any genre of fiction, and often is. The only reason it's noticed in tagahanga fiction is because people are madami likely to READ a tagahanga fiction sa pamamagitan ng a thirteen-year-old than a real short story sa pamamagitan ng a thirteen-year-old.

To say that it's "cheap" and "uncreative" is to generalize an entire genre. There are really intricate and descriptive tagahanga fictions out there that are fascinating. It can also turn into a career-- have you heard of TV shows having novels? They're basically published tagahanga fiction.

I personally dont like fanfiction, but i think its because when i write, my characters are so real to me. I cant just add onto anothers story. Thats just my opinion though. If your u like me and you CAN add on to anothers story, i think that would help build up your Pagsulat skills

Its a little evil. I think it encourages some people to think that the original story is theirs. Also people can get carried away with their fanfiction.

I disagree. I write fanfiction, but I don't think I own Tim Burton's characters.

I think that tagahanga fiction can be a stepping stone to improving one's own Pagsulat but you can't get obsessed with a story that isn't yours. You have to remember to keep it under control and in perspective.

I write lots too, but not as much as I used to. I think it can help your writing, but as long as it's realistic. Some people go overboard and make some things happen that would never. I suppose it helps you get out what you want to happen, but in a way it's a bit rediculous. I geuss it's ok once in a while.

I have memory problems and I find it easier to keep track of other people's characters than my own. So yes, fanfiction is fine. I write it. It is a sort of "stepping stone". It has helped me improve my Pagsulat alot.

For people who think that fanfiction is an insult to the original work, I say "No it isn't." It is a good thing to have your work looked upon so highly that someone wants the story to go on. Also, it does not ruin the original work for other people. If you want to read it, the original, untainted copy is out there for anyone to read/see/hear/whatever.

For people who think fanfiction is uncreative, I suggest you write fanfiction. Yeah, I want you to go write it yourself. If you know enough about someone else's story that you can write your own could-plausibly-happen spinoff, then you have some serious strengths in finding facts. It takes just as much brainpower to use someone else's characters as it does to use your own. I would know.

I dont write tagahanga fiction at all because I think it is uncreative and cheapening the original product.. all my stories I write are either inspired or completely written on the spot. I never plan my Pagsulat either.. it all just kind of flows when I get into it.

I disagree.Fan fiction is not uncreative as you say,because even though the writer is basing a story off of a canon character,the writer is creating their own characters,universes,situations,etc.How is it cheapening the original "product"?Fan fiction is basically an homage to a work,and you can easily go to a bookstore and buy the "orginal product,"and avoid tagahanga fiction.I have read some horrible,aboslutely out there fics,and I have read amazing and well thought out ones.Writing is writing.

Personally, I think fan-fiction is a great way for writers to enter the world of writing. They get to use something they like and are familiar with to create stories. Usually, if the writer is a serious one, they'll branch out and create their own original stories. I've had many instances where I'll be Pagsulat a fan-fiction story and will get tons of ideas for original stories. I have TONS of OCs in my fan-fics now; I can't help it. lol
Bottom line, I think fan-fiction can be good or bad, depending on the writer.

I agree I`ve ben pagbaba and Pagsulat for a taon now in fanfiction first it was CSI:NY and now its The Mentalist. I really think writng fanfiction has helped me develop my stories. I`m Pagsulat a fiction outside of FF.net and it`s a crime/drama/friendship and a little romance but I do think FF has helped me alot! Also watching crime shows since I was 9 probably helped too!:)

I think fanfictioning is perfectly okay, I do it all the time. I started out Pagsulat my own original stories, and I still do, but fanfiction started out as just another way of ipinapakita my appreciation for a certain ipakita I was really into. But now, it's almost a way of life for me, and if I ever get stuck on my original stories, I can always just switch to a fanfiction and it just flows from there. I know I don't own any of the characters, and it's actually pretty nice to be able to just build on a plot ibingiay to you already. For me, it gives me a lot madami chances for creativity, and so, fanfictioning has made my original stories a lot better.

I think if you like Pagsulat fanfiction then thats great cuz i feel it helps opens up your imagination and creative writing...while not going overboard as some do...but if you dont like fanfic well thats completely up to if you wanna remain faithful to the original series..though i believe that you still can remain faithful to the original series while keeping the essence of the story, characters and etc...true in your fanfiction...fanfictin to me: is what could HAVE happened, like different forks in a road...that is completely believeable..that make you think "yeah i buy that...that could have ugoy that way"...

I basically say it's completely beneficial.

Mainly because of what you sinabi in your first sentence of the paglalarawan for your question....

...and because it actually does bolster one's creativity. I would know :)
