>>39408387All forms of shitty writing are shit. Fanfiction gives the most passes because it will never make you money, so it can be dogshit. It can totally be done well, I'm doing a decent ass one now.
>>39407558Classic.
>>39408413I'd say the universe benefits you. Don't have to explain it, don't have to make it.
Want to make something new within it? Just justify it. You have all the freedom you need.
With a fagfiction you can be as limitless as you want, especially with Pokemon since they break their own continuty rules all the godamn time anyway.
