InfernalRhage 99% translation teams doing it and they're fine. How much do you think authors get from translation teams? 0$ in most cases.

    Also, something to note is that, in the original Qidian website (the Chinese one), this kind of thing is common. The truth of the fact is that, Qidian has been putting fanfiction and orifiction together since long ago. Therefore, while it will be nice to have separate voting systems, I highly doubt they're going to implement it.

      On the writing part: The biggest problem I see in fanfiction is that the tone is different (this has low-key also smth to do with character consistency but F it). When I read a book and soon after I read an FF of it I just cringe because the tone in which the story is presented is different.
      Also: I hate it when a character with wonderful development suddenly comes off like a Japanese LN protag.
      Just ArrgH... go die you destroyed the picture of my favorite character!
      I don't know any good Fanfics bc I don't want to risk it (for reasons stated above)

        YuushaExa Really they are just fine... need I remind you of all translators who got hit by DMCA's by Qidian around the time this site was started? What do you think would have happened if they had continued translating said novels after that.
        Secondly you can not compare translating a novel from one language to another to people straight up copying 90% of someone elses work with a few slight changes, weather it be to the story line or the addition of a few new characters, and labeling it as ORIGINAL.

        AraiiYama heres a copy pasted response to that

        One problem with fanfiction is sometimes writers don't do their research even when it is very simple. A common occurrence is when an author from a country other than the original work's country of origin writes characters as if they are from their own country. An example is Harry Potter where non-British writers (particularly American) make characters act and think like an American would; this also happens vice versa as seen in Fifty Shades of Grey.

        Eventually, this accretion of fan-born details and mutations turns into things that "everybody knows" about the series. Those new to or unfamiliar with the original material are frequently confused into believing that it obviously must be canon if so many people mention it, even "facts" of the Epileptic Trees variety. This is especially the case with series that have long runs and which gloss over details which are unimportant to the plot but are of interest to the fans and the fan writers.

        One famous example of this is the manga/anime Ranma Β½, released well before the Internet became ubiquitous and when many fans had no easy access to the original source material. All manner of details (including the explanation of Akane's mallet as either a ki attack or as residing in a hyperdimensional pocket, her Flanderization into a "psychobitch", her lethal cooking (rather than being just bad), and the names and fates of the many missing mothers were never touched on in the show but became standardized in Ranma fan fiction over the course of approximately a decade. The process was accelerated and exacerbated by the appearance of fanfiction written by people who had never actually seen the show itself and whose only exposure to Ranma was other fanfiction.

        Another famous example is the Harry Potter fanfic The Draco Trilogy, which was apparently so widely read that details such as Blaise Zabini being female and Ginny's name being Virginia were taken to be canon, although they were both refuted by later books.

        It's not surprising that fans of some shows occasionally pen FAQs solely to reduce the accumulation of fanon in this way.

          β€”Most fanfic writers

          This kind of disclaimer comes from a misunderstanding of copyright law; fanfic writers seem to believe that it's concerned with taking credit for someone else's work.

          So as long as she is explicit that she didn't create the characters or setting, she's not taking credit for the work, and is thus home free. The problem is that copyright law is concerned with protecting the original author's rights, whether or not the fanfic writer takes credit for the work.

          You can be liable for copyright infringement as long as the creator of the original work loses money because of your fic. (This can happen even if you don't charge for your fanfic; the rights holder can argue that he could have written your story just as easily and charged money for it, except your free version is there, so now he can't.)

          Some fanfic authors try to head off legal consequences by pointing out that they have little, no, or negative assets; this never works because rights holders don't care about your assets so much as protecting their own assets and stopping you from doing further damage.

          This post should survivor no matter what.....The fanfic has took the daily update...OMG...THIS IS BAD.....
          Skyrim, Highschool dxd, viserys targaryen, wandering the multiverse...😑😑😑😑😑🀧🀧🀧😱😱😱😱😨😨😰😰😭😭😀😀

          Have you tried using the browse function? Try clicking it, then pick your genre, here you have to make sure you Do Not click or highlight "Fan-Fiction", under type click "Original". Now you are all set to look at original novels without Fan-fictions. Your Welcome.

          InfernalRhage Actually when I was still in school, I really thought about that. However, since I was a terrible writer back then, I gladly never acted upon. Yet, I did use that drive an insperation to write a completely different story.

          This is me agreeing be the way...

          Daoisthentai I with you but I don't hate the DJ only don't read . There a lot in manga too. Apart of then I liked a sections of novels hot betwen yaoi, hentai and others . I want yaoi😻 πŸ‘¨β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨

          Hmmm, I agree with your point that labelling fanfics as orginal is ridiculous.
          Personally I don't have anything against fanfics but once I see a bad fanfic of my favorite animes that just totally ruins the image I have for them, and also at the same time twisting the plot into an amalgamation of pure cringiness, weirdness and just plain horrible.

          The bad fanfics here are just like a bacteria, they multiply fast and slowly kills the site. I mean like there is a clear distinction between original and fanfic its just the people who don't recognize it or just don't want to.

          There are a few fanfics that I like here and they are doing pretty good, they have their own originality and not just a mix of nightmares. They go beyond the original plot and has their own unique story. A good example is Ancestor Please Calm Down, this fanfic has part of the original series but only just for a brief moment, here the author adds new elements like cultivation and go beyond the original world where the Naruto Series happened. Now this is a fanfic and not just a Chimera-of-a-story(lack of better words lol).

          I agree that there should be a segregation between these two genres as they're clearly different from each other and just the thought of good originals being buried by countless bad fanfics becuase of the original series' fan base is just nauseating.

          From the MCs being a fuckboy to just being plain retarded, I don't even fucking know why people enjoy such bad fanfics, now there are originals like this too, and I have the same opinion ot them, If they're bad then I'll just ignore them.

          Feel the thread breakin' and everybody shakin'
          And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
          Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive

          for most naruto fics

          Neither Masashi Kishimoto nor Viz Media have ever taken action to shut down Naruto fan works, and Shonen Jump publishes Fan-Art of all its regulars, Naruto included. However, even though they have a section on the official website for fanfics and fan art, it is against the rules of the forum to publish a fan work using trademarked characters. They must be serious about avoiding cross-pollination between fan ideas and official material.

          for harry potter fics

          Warner Bros. briefly tried to get rid of Harry Potter Slash Fic. Given the absolutely monstrous amount of Harry Potter Slash Fic on the Internet, this naturally went nowhere.
