What are you opinions on the writing of fanfictions?
I, personally, disapprove of them because you're taking another person's work and changing their ideas into another plot entirely.

I like them as a person.
It's a nice outlet for uncreative people, or writer's blocked people. But it's also annoying and fathered crap like Yaoi and Yuri and whatever the hell it is.
It was nice to write a bit of that before HP7 came out, but now it's no fun...

I approve of them if you are true to the original plot....I have a fanfiction about the shows Buffy and Angel but it's after the series ended so i have only a few resrictions.

I'm a fan fiction addict. Absolutely love the stuff. Write a lot of it myself too.
I think it's great practice for anyone who wants to sharpen they're witting skills without having to create a new setting.

I like writing fanfiction, so although I get the arguments against it, I'm on fanfiction's side. Damnable Mary Sues and all (belatedly, that, but freedom of speech and whatnot. Doesn't mean, of course, that I won't fantasize about killing them as often as possible in my spare time). But I do think if an author specifically says "Stop writing fanfiction about my book, I never ever ever ever wanted to think of my character x and my character y getting together, please, O fans, have mercy," said fans should probably, well, have mercy on their poor fanfiction's Canon Creator.

I love fanfiction, but usually one shots or one that have a plot if they have multiple chapters.
Fanfiction is a great way to say "this could have happened" or "this is another perspective", especially for people with talent who have free time or writers block.
I writer fanfiction myself, but I veer away from multiple chapters, I save those for my novels. I have no problem with Yaoi of Yuri. In fact, if it is well written, I encourage the possibility, more so if it was hinted at in the original story line.
As long as it is well written, has a good plot (preferably original), and can catch my attention, by all means the author should write away!

Since I am a fanficcy person, I will say that (of course) fanfiction is quite all right. If you have an original plot line and uses the settings of a particular author, then that is fine with me. But if you twisted the relationships in them...Well, you'll be finding me flaming you. *can't stand that*

I am a personally a big fan of fanfiction. I love writing it and reading it. I agree with Bane Rieko: it's fun to write some "Well, it could have happened this way" kinds of fics. I think it's also fun to stick them in alternate universes (High school, for example) as long as it makes sense in the context of the fanfic, and it keeps the characters in character. But thats just me. I know a lot of people don't like fanfiction (and I see a lot of people here don't like putting the characters in alternate universes. Kingdom Hearts is a good one for alternate universes, if anyone here's played that game). And I despise mary sues. Stick with the characters that came with the original work, please.

I really don't have a problem with fanfiction if it's written well and stays true to the characters and world that the author created. Though...some deviations may prove interesting...like in one fanfic I wrote based off of Brian Jacques' Redwall series...my main character was a wolf and not a villain in any way.
Fan fiction has given me many opportunities to create and imagine different things.
Like...Xmen fan fictions. I have over 80 characters that I've created for the X-man world. As well as a school, and faction that dwelves into the gray areas...where the X-men would never go.

I personally love reading and writing it. surprised
It's a good exercise for characterization, IMHO, and there are interesting dynamics for characters that have little to no development in canonverse. Then again, most of the fic I read is pretty good because they're recs, written by friends -- all who write a variety of things, including both slash and femmslash (basically, rotf, most of them write porn) -- or found randomly while browsing summaries.
Honestly, I don't think it's for the uncreative. It's just a fun thing you can share with the people in your fandom~ (:

I love Fan fiction, I even write it myself. Now it does bother me when someone does make a character do something that they would never do or writes something that would make there author roll over in their graves.
Personally, I love it for series like Narnia because C.S. Lewis doesn't tell you what happens during the Golden Age or after the Train crash, so all of those "uncreative people" in that section are doing exactly what Lewis said when he said it was up to us to fill in the blanks.
As long as the authors keep the characters in character and they have a good plot I like alternate universes. As of different pairings then the original I'm usually against it but then again it really depends on the series (like in "The Phantom of the Opera" I think Raoul is a pansy who doesn't know his own feelings and should find a nice cliff to jump off of.) I don't mind OC's as long as they are well written, believable and not Mary Sues.

I am a loyal fanfiction reader and writer. I personally love it, probably because it was what first got me into writing. My best friend wrote a bunch of High School Musical stories (we were twelve...and I hated it, but her stories were very well written) and that's what got me into writing squeaky clean Jonas Brothers (even though it's illegal...they all got deleted from FanFiction), Hannah Montana, and Wizards of Waverly Place. Then I got into mature stories of all those canons. Now I write for none of those anymore and I write for Glee, Harry Potter, and Dead Poet's Society. And I may start writing for Degrassi soon too.
I love being able to change things about TV shows, movies, and books that I didn't like before. I'm currently thinking of writing an alternate ending to Deathly Hallows where one of my favorite characters lives. Only one. I try to avoid Mary Sues as much as I can. And I love putting couples together that aren't together in the canon, but could be. Like, Harry/Luna. I really see them being able to start a relationship...but because of stupid Ginny, they can't. Sorry, totally off topic. sweatdrop
But, other than writing fanon couplings, my fanfics are normally pretty true to the canon. And I do appreciate when other fanfics stay true to the original as well. But it's sometimes fun to read a really OOC story. Just for funzies. But, I think of fanfiction as basically practice for writing original stories...which I can't write very well to begin with...
