Is Fan- Fiction Bad?

In this video, I discuss fan-fiction. I try to come up with a definition of what fan-fiction is, and then try to answer the question "is it bad"?

Some fanfictions are really good. It's usually when the authors add something of their own while keeping the characters consistent with the original work.

I think fanfiction is just supposed to be a fun thing for the fans. It's not supposed to be taken seriously.

20:02 is why I generally avoid reading fan fiction. Too much of it seems like sad and pathetic wish fulfillment where the author creates an avatar for self insertion. I will intentionally avoid something I know to be fan fiction unless it’s good enough that its word of mouth reputation convinces me to give it a try. I can’t bring myself to waste time on something that I know is probably going to be of sub par quality when there are too many non-derivative masterpieces out there that I’ve yet to experience.

Yeah I generally agree with you here. There can be good stuff, like with anything, but there can be a lot of wish fulfillment literature too.
