I love the fact though that while I’m playing I am also apart of constructing the narrative. I think the issue lies where film and games become one and you’re not able to play the game without following the film’s structure piece for piece.

I think that fanfiction is a brilliant spring board for aspiring authors to be able to test the boundaries of their abilities in a safe space with a willing audience who is already familiar with the characters.

They don’t need to sell their work to have it noticed or build a following or work as hard to receive feedback when there’s a platform built for it.

I think fanfiction is essentially harmless as long as people are being respectful if the people they are portraying are real human beings.

This was a very well written and informed article, I totally agree on a lot of your points and feel that you have put a lot of effort and thought into writing it. I know myself that I am guilty of wasting hours online when I could have been doing something more productive!

I would just like to make two constructive points, I feel that you tried to cover a lot of content on a very very large topic and unfortunately it meant that there were points that I felt deviated from your original point, making it a bit more convoluted than necessary. This could definitely have been fixed with a bit more editing. Secondly, if you are going to cite articles you should reference them with a link and citation below.

Otherwise I really enjoyed this article, brilliant job!
