Is fan fiction illegal? Fan fiction is getting the short end of the stick when it comes to the law and writing online so in other words fan fiction is not illegal. Does fan fiction violate copy right law? If people can right parodies or doujinshi then why do people that write fan fiction get so much grief? Many have the assumption that fan fiction well effect the original they forget that the piece is listed under fan fiction in thus it is obviously not written by the original author, therefore fan fiction does not violate copyright. For those who do not know what fan fiction (fan fic / fics) is, “fan fiction is fiction written by fans of a television show, move, etc. Book characters and scenarios of the series with a different plot” (dictionary.com) Fan fictions that follow this description are known as canon fics. they feature a slight twist to the plot and character behavior though this is not the only type of fic. One other type of fic does not have just the characters of the original fictions movie, television show etc. But also characters the fanfic author created which known as Original Characters (OCs). OCs are seen as trademarks for a fanfic authors they are characters the fanfic author came up with and integrated into their plot of the fic in thus adding twists to scenarios, adding more flex ability to the plot, most likely to have personality quarks that are attributes of the fanfic author and add more dynamic and change characters of the original piece in away making an completely different piece. Another type of fan fiction is an AU or alternate universe fic these fan fics tend to have a different time, scenery, scenario the personality’s of certain characters for instance the Naruto from Ghost Child ( a newer Naruto... ... middle of paper ... ...sponsible for things in fan fics and to make a reliable product or in this case a decant work. Most fan fiction authors are steadily fighting against copyright new law. But fanfiction does not violate copy right law if the fan fiction has the right disclaimer. They also forget that the piece is listed under fan fiction in thus it is obviously not written by the original author. In the words Lev Grossmen of “fan fiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop- culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don’t do it for money. That’s not what it’s about. The writers to write it to put it up online just for the satisfaction. They’re fans, but they’re not silent, couch bound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture I it own language.”
Metafiction is a type of fiction in which the author includes him or herself in the story. Dr. Angela
The term “fan” was originally used to describe sports fans during the nineteenth century and was later adopted by science fiction enthusiasts in the 1920s. The term “fan,” however, is used for describing a type of person who is enthusiastic, or fanatic about a certain subject. Popular fan culture, nicknamed “fandoms,” have become an integral part of society in many countries, and have connected people sharing a common interest through online communities where they can freely discuss fan related topics. Popular fandoms today include Directioners, Beliebers, and VIPs. People who are part of fandoms usually show their devotion by participating in fan conventions such as Comicon, writing fan mail, creating fan art, or by promoting their interests to others. Being a fan also comes with the responsibility of changing one’s lifestyle in order to accommodate time and energy into the fandom. Fan culture also offers people the chance to feel passionate about something or someone in order to satisfy the emotional needs they lack from their daily life.
When authors write a piece of literature they have a purpose for their words. They use what they want to convey their purpose. Not letting them say what they want ties their hands so to
There is no accusation of plagiarism for some forums of writing until there is an opportunity of profit. J. K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, accused Steven Vander Ark, a diehard Harry Potter fan, of plagiarism after a publishing company approached him to make his free online Harry Potter lexicon into a book. An article by David B. Caruso, in USA Today, covers the account of the beginnings of the lawsuit. According to Caruso before Vander Ark was accused, Rowli...
A writer has only two things to sell: his words and his ideas. If you steal either, it’s as bad as stealing any other peddler’s stock-in-trade. Unlike other peddlers, though, the writer gives you permission to use his stock-in-trade at your will as long as you point out that the stuff originally belonged to him.
Another critic, from norwaywrites.com, wrote in a similar sense talking about how Kings works are to the point of being unpublishable. He states, My senior Creative Writing professor in college, a National Book Award winning author, brought into us during a lecture on basic prose and readability a chapter excerpt from Stephen King's newest book at the time, Cell, and without telling us who wrote it asked us to read it and discuss. None of us had read the book yet, because apparently a college education is enough to scare people away from second rate penny stock fiction. We hated it. We marked it up, took it apart, rewrote it, and more or less declared it unpublishable before our professor informed us that it was in the New York Times Bestseller list and had already made more money than all of our college loans combined. He also states that his writings are atrocious and that "the Uncle Scrooge-esque money vault that he s...
Whether you are a fan or not, Science Fiction and Fantasy is, or has been, present in your life at some point. The genre has helped progress society in many ways. Sci-fi and Fantasy are for the creative. One cannot embrace the wild and imaginative plot lines without the ability to think creatively. Sometimes the fantastical ideas presented in the books and shows are absorbed by these creative and inventive minds and applied to the real world. Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek once said, “For me science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.” These genres are a way of looking at the world in a whole new light, exploring endless ideas of humanity and our society (and in some cases using otherworldly or mythical species to reflect on our own), ideas of what our future may be like, or what the past may have been. It could be a bright idea of humanity overcoming their selfishness and living in harmony in the future, on the other hand, it could also be a warning of sorts. Some books and films take place in a dark future where mankind has almost completely destroyed itself. Either way can inspire the reader or viewer.
“Fleance,” said Banquo as he was walking into the kitchen to eat a fine piece of Scottish steak, “could you please notify Macbeth and his Lady that I have a very interesting story to tell?”
Really? I always considered the protagonist to be the most important, but that might just be a DR thing because of how little we actually see the villain. Wait, why are you writing Naruto fanfiction if you hate it so much? Or do you not hate it and just hate certain parts of it? Oh good, the DR mastermind (The person who controls Monokuma and made the killing game.) is really hard to write in character, especially since we see so little of them.

Fan Culture is something that has been around for a while, but it the last twenty years, since the introduction of the Internet, it is also something that has changed dramatically. A fan is an enthusiast of something and now the Internet is a good home for fans to gather and build together a community of fans, a ‘Fandom’. The turn Fandom means a community of a group of people who all enjoy them same thing and the Internet has created a place for online communities. Fan Culture has irreversibly changed the media industry because of the ability share information and fan made created content. The creation of these online based communities have meant that people from all over the world can talk about the latest TV shows, movies, books, comics and other forms of content and create groups dedicated to them. The Internet has also become a platform for the creation of a collective community, where individuals who all have shared interests can go. “Fans uses of technologies bring a sense of playfulness to the work of active reading” (2010; 12). Digital Fandoms are user-led forum of content creation, the fans create a number of things; fan fiction, fan blogs, fan made videos, fan art work, wiki leaks. The fans create a whole new life, another side of the TV show, film or book, that is complicity run and used by the fans. These fan made creation do not have to stick to what is canon in the show and can do what they wish with the character and the storylines. However is this an okay thing to do, Henry Jenkins refers to the fans who create these things are ‘Textual Poachers’. Those fans are now active interpreters instead of passive consumers. In this view the fans are poaching the created content of the writer. The fans have power to create t...
Copyright is not a natural process; it is essentially an agreement between the state and an artist, where the state gives the artist a monopoly on works they make for a certain time in hopes that this artist will continue to create more works. This agreement is beneficial for all parties; the artist gets money for their work (as no one is allowed to produce copies unless granted permission) and an incentive to create new works. The state has artisans to keep the public happy.
In developing a discussion on magazine fiction, it is first necessary to develop strong reasoning as to why this is a relevant topic at all. If one is to discuss fiction in books, which many people have, why does the subject of magazine fiction even have to be brought up? Aren't the two of them one and the same?
...e two (or more) protagonists finding their 'other halves' by the end of the novel. Manga doesn't always follow these general ideas, some do as generalised ideas are easy to write, but most boast unique endings and twists along the way. This means that can be introduced to unique ways of writing commonly done themes and genres.
