Fan fiction writers say that it's to "expand upon the story" of something, but they rarely stay with the canon even remotely. Often the entire point of fan fictions is just to add yourself into the story, or to make characters from the book get in romantic relationships which they simply wouldn't get involved in, because they were "meant to be."
Can someone please explain to me why girls write Yaoi fan fictions where badassed, mean sons o' bitches suddenly become sensitive and kind with one another, and then have passionate gay sex?
Psychologically, I can understand why a heterosexual person would like to see two members of the opposite sex in sexual situations at once, but why must they be torn out of their original characters?
Why can't they make their own characters for this? The act of taking characters out of character does not bother me, but the pretension involved in contesting the validity of a novel's, movie's or series' canon astounds me.
But this sort of thing may be how art evolves; from one thing, something only vaguely relevant is derived. And from that derivation comes the standard.
On the cynical side of this argument's coin, it might just be idiots producing tasteless garbage. Maybe Yaoi Fan Fiction is just crap that bored, horny 14 year old girls write. Maybe it's not true art.
My opinion is that it's the latter. What's yours?

Im a gay dude who writes fanfics and the ONLY thing I try to avoid is taking the characters character away. I think, (personally) that most women just like fantasy better than what actually occurs. So they take there own desires impose those onto the characters character and then once they realize even once that they can do that it becomes infinitly easy to do it again and again. Im not sure but HEY! Im an artist. The only art I cannot judge without bias is my own. So hope you understood me and hope you can still stand me.
Bye all! HAVE A GREAT LIFE OF HAVOC AND I HOPE YOU NEVER DIE! MuPa- 1990.
