there's nothing illegitimate about fanfiction. or zombies. a well written work is engaging regardless of topic or how well loved by everyone the ideas r. u can take a universe & expand it w ur unique way. the original creator is just one take on that story.
i get that zombie stuff gets undermined because it's all the rage but "legit" just sounds horribly dismissive of certain creative paths. i'm involved in fanfic & it's incredibly filled w great stories. there's nothing wrong w that. lots of people diss fanfic but there's incredible talent skill & love there & it's all free. it just sounds insulting to say that is less worthy.
