Understandable since the feeling of something already determined only to be changed entirely is hard to accept
That's fair. In my case, I do both in webnovel while go for fanfiction here in scribble
There are countless stories out there and even a lot in here.
Many love reading or writing their own original stories while some dare to use existing fiction and write their own version of said story.
Me? I enjoy reading and writing fanfiction as anyone can see here.
So, what about you...
