well I hate to break it to her but I have never read a single 'work drawing inspiration from religion' that I liked or was even marginally well-written
like, if my options are a 'work drawing inspiration from religion' that's probably bland af and het as hell and ends with marriage and then sex or 27+ chapter Drarry slow-burn that's got even mostly well-written actual smut every two or three chapters?
Nooo ignore this person. They're an undergrad english major who probably just had an undergrad English teacher tell them "fan fic isn't real lit". she's also claiming Dante's Inferno isn't fan fic lmao
i mean i say that as if I didn't drop into their feed all "Cassandra Clare's most well known hp fic was shopped around as an actual novel you may now know as the Mortal Instruments."
um I've read fanfic that was better than some of the published stuff I read, and I've seen books get published that the author admits started life as fanfic.

: yeah I know, Pamela Dean is the major one and she's a Twitter friend of one of my friends so I'll bite anyone who says she didn't plagiarize.
one of the things that annoys me abt the new naomi novik novel (deadly education) besides the weird racist aside is that it was originally a drarry fic that got straightwashed
or
27+ chapter Drarry slow-burn that's got even mostly well-written actual smut every two or three chapters?
