Copying things is trash, a fanfic should at very least be able to build upon the original story.

This thread is a fanfic of another thread. You just wrote a trash.

The fanfic writers from 10 years ago grew up and couldn't cut it being real writers, so they became video game writers instead. This is why all video games are written like ass. Hence fanfics are killing gaming.

Fanfics of Game of Thrones and how the series should have ended are better than what people got. Fight me.

I don't fight when I know I can't win.

Star wars sequel fanfics are better than the official star wars sequel fanfic.

Not like non-fanfic stories are original these days.

The Flashman Papers are a great work of fan fiction and a decent work of literature.

I think it's true for a majority of fanfic, especially when they don't keep close to the source material. However, I think fanfics can be done well enough that they pay homage to the source material and make an interesting story. Now the question that everybody should ask themself is: Has there ever been a book story, movie, or series that you think deserves fanfics but has never had one?

Is it better to write a Twilight fanfic or an original work like Fifty Shades of Grey?

The original version was fanfiction. The final drafts that got published aren't (for obvious legal reasons). By 2019, the book was largely forgotten (just compare things in google trends). Even then, it's legally distinct, and it eclipsed the original work (Twilight) in popularity.
