>>77479103Im talking out of my ass here since i wasnt around for the abuse times but I feel like the issue with spin offs and similar is that nowadays we have enough writers to go "hey i can make that... BUT DIFFERENT!"
I feel like back in the day, at least from what i can piece back, people had a monopoly over ideas (not due to being mean or anything, just a case of "im not gonna do my take on that since that's X fic idea") and nowadays the thread encourages people to make the second cake
