This has concerned a few times in the past; how does fan fiction compare to regular original stories?
For a while now, I've been under the impression that writing a fan fiction story doesn't really compare to actually writing an original novel. That's why whenever I'm watching a movie, TV show or documentary relating to authors like J.K. Rowling or Rick Riordan, or trying to get into the Spirit of Black History Month by writing something to feel like an African-American author, fan fiction never feels like enough.
Any thoughts on this?
