My books like 40 something at the moment I think I would only rise like 5 places if the fanfics were removed. / shrugs I guess if they had their own section it would be cool. I personally don't like them but they seem popular.
Can I stab every fanfic writer with a lawsuit?

Transparency What most of us are saying is that they need their own section because they by deffinition are not an original novel.
Lol, I was like you once. But at the 19th rank. I was dethroned by fanfics.
Gyihhuhu_ Yeah it would feel pretty bad when you are that close to the top.
InfernalRhage Yeah that makes sense. They can have their own section why not!
someone should really make a thread about the features missing from the mainsite and this forum...
make a list of the most popularly suggested feature
ask for mods to pin.... or ask other people to keep posting just a "+1" comment for the thread to always stay below the pinned thread making it relevant.
That's a good idea but who would you even talk to about something like that on here?
I was first introduced to fanfiction and fanfiction.net when my friend in high school at the time told me how he was a writer of such work and how he had 100k likes or subscribers or whatever the fuck fanfic has because I don't go there and don't particularly care to remember. I disliked his stories because I didn't like how it was based on movies, books, or whatever just different in some way (Protagonist, timeline, system added, etc.)
It started off as me thinking fanfiction.net was just a normal writing platform (My family had just got home internet so I had zero experience in anything online, I was very happy when I found out about 'anime' and how to watch it via websites) and not a genre because I guess no one bothered to tell me what fanfiction actually goddamn meant, so there I was reading Lilo and Stitch as well as 15 other stories (including Naruto and Bleach) with little to no comprehension in what I was supposed to be doing in regards to judging and giving a review, and then my friend talked me into writing a story too, so I did (Not sure if he wanted me to feel the freedom of writing or just have me realize my place as possessing no talent or experience to make himself more inwardly smug and higher on a pedestal expecting praise) and as crap as my story was no one immediately told me my 'original' story wasn't fanfiction when I posted it on fanfiction. Why? I don't know, maybe because they had no clue what story I was basing a fanfic on?
After two months of editing my story and adding onto it did someone finally ask me to my shocking surprise. As soon as I found that out I seethed and realized how stupid I was for not realizing why every story I read there was based on something or another. Thankfully I found a proper website for respectable writers later that day by a simple google search. (No bing, go die in a fire bing, even 8 years ago when I first found out about you I hated your confusing layout.)
BING BONG BOING! NARUTO IS TRASH, AND SO ARE WE.

Just found this thread.
Don't let it die.
I fully agree to the suggestion of a separate system for fanfics, as I similarly don't like the majority of them.
Banning is in my opinion not realistic (cus who's going to check?)
I'm rooting for the lawsuit.
Offtopic: can we all, for instance, refer to the the fanfictions as Mexican tresspassitos from now on? They tresspacito-ed into the originals section and stole all of our jobs money!
InfernalRhage Disney is a beast when it comes to their copyrights. They even sue daycares who have put Mickey or Donald on their walls without their $1000's of dollar permissions (And yeah, they charge 4-5 figures for just that).
InfernalRhage honestly, that's derivative fiction, not fan fiction.

Agree, agree, agree. Don’t wanna add any points, but my voice. So here I am.
F—k fanfics.
(jk, just separate them.)
I used to think of Dragon Ball as a good memory from my childhood, now I cringe whenever I see anything related to it thanks to fanfics.
Damn fanfics ruined my nostalgia.
Aren't you a mod or something? Can you help this post get stickied?
Tashady Once again the deffinition of fan fiction is: fiction written by a fan of, and featuring characters from, a particular TV series, movie, etc.
Notice it never once states that it has to follow the original plot line.
Am I the only one who has not read any Fan Fiction yet? For I do not see the slightest grace ... I find it fun to read something new, exciting and surprising, not something copied from another on the hard face.
Daoisthentai nope, mods have a special little sticker next to their pics, like admins, editors, and translators do.;,;.

We are two who have not read fanfics on Qidian.
I've been a fanfic writer on Brazilian sites, so I understand the two sides of writing original and fanfics.
Particularly... I do not know which is the most laborious, I just know the result in a question of readers, works with fanfiction are more rewarding with the incentives.
Of course, the originals leave a greater strain when they are evaluated, after all, it is my world that is being exposed to thousands of people. So when a person criticizes the original work, for me, it's like a bullet in the heart. Already in fanfic, it is just a fantasy or a wish to be realized in that world created by another author.
I do not know if I was very clear about that.
Anyway, I do not read fanfic anymore, I do not want to destroy the perfect work of an author, even if he did shit in the last volume of his work (Bleach!).
But I'm not going to lie, I read some books (yes, real books, those bestsellers or those that go to the movies) and I feel a compulsion to modify some endings, especially if it is the character that I love the most and he dies of a very unfair and meaningless way. Then I restrain myself (I do not publish), just write to myself, to my self-satisfaction.
