Writing Reviews and Rants

"Dear Fanfiction" Review

“Dear Fanfiction” by Araneae Siqua

Just a note: Sometimes, I’ll make a correction that doesn’t really need to be corrected, but that is just not how I would have written it. It may just be a part of your writing style, and I misinterpreted it. So just consider each comment, and decide for yourself if it really needs to be changed. I do my best to review from the perspective of a reader AND a writer.
Cover: I will refrain from commenting on the cover (since I made it XD).

Chapter Titles: A good way to categorize it. They are simple and to the point, making it easy to tell which one you’ll be getting when you click on it.

Book: Wow, this thing is hilarious. Since it’s not actually a story per se, it’s difficult to grade it. You seem to have a VERY good understanding of the canon characters, and the occasional injection of a cross-fandom character makes the whole thing all the more entertaining. Some of the letters’ irrelevance just adds to the hilarity. I also enjoyed how you used the 1st person letters to address common writing cliches and errors. It was funny and carried the message across. I also like how frequently you update. I'd never be able to update that quickly. I'd run dry on creativity before I even got as far as you have! The whole thing is extremely entertaining and a very good read.

*is gonna go lay down because stomach hurts from laughing so hard at the story.*

Notes

Don't worry, my new style will be longer than this. It's mostly this short because of the type of story it happened to be a review of.

Comments

It really depends on how they present it. If it's anobviously intentional clone, then no, I don't approve of it. That's lazy. I say make your own character with as few outside influences as possible. If it turns out to be similar to something else, that's alright: there's no way you can create a 100% original character. You can always tweak it a bit later to make it different, and your writing style should be different enough that the characters aren't ridiculously comparable.
no I haven't read Fangirl.

wikipedia says it's true; some newspapers from 2012 back it up; nothing recent, but there's a link to her original name "snowqueens icedragon" and her fanfic. good enough for me. she got her twilight fan fiction published.
well, there's harry styles fan fiction that also got published. I kind of want to know how you feel about that. Isn't that kind of plagiarism? To just change the names but steal the characters? Have you ever read Fangirl? They talk about this sort of plagiarism a little bit.

Yeah, I think I heard that somewhere. It's pretty dang pathetic.
