Anyone else find it annoying when fanfics are just recounts of the original story?
Like when someone writes a fanfiction but the characters interact exactly the same as they do in the original material but with just one extra oc/crossover character adding an opinion or sentence here and there. The characters say the same sentences, go to the same places, find the same things, fight the same people, etc. Maybe at most they sorta react to what the new character does/says but the actual story itself doesn’t change. Like fanfictions have so much potential for world building, make your story actually interesting and create something new with the source material. Even if it ends up being bad at least you wrote something original
