Sorry !




Addressed to the authors




Not too long ago, a long-time friend pointed out to me that these so-called fan fictions can be very valuable from a literary point of view and are of high quality. As a connoisseur and also a lover of fictional literature, I was not at all enthusiastic about it - because who would trust boys and girls who are in an extremely complicated developmental phase of growing up without any significant life experience to describe various characters and their philosophy of life to reproduce all its rough edges? In my opinion, a young person does not have the necessary "overview" of the scope of his own actions, let alone those of his agents. A young person still has to test his limits and for this reason I do not see him as capable of setting his own limits to fictional characters in a world that only exists in the imagination and in which all natural barriers of science are infinitely broken put.

How is someone supposed to set boundaries for other characters if their own are not even clearly defined?


That was my opinion and it still is.


But after several visits to this page, I also feel compelled to make concessions.


Neither series nor books are known to me[But at this point my compliments to the creators of this website, who did an excellent job of summarizing the most important information, but I have to disappoint you, because all the strange names made it almost impossible for me, even if only to get approximately an overview. ].


Ninety-nine percent of these stories ultimately correspond to what I unreservedly expected. Imaginative stories from dreamers who have lost all grounding.


Half-heartedly written stories that only serve one purpose: to catch comments.


Or even stories in which human feelings and desires are reduced to the most primitive. .

Most of your fan fictions reflect the point of view and comprehension of their age group.


And it is also that which has prompted me to read your stories carefully despite my opposing convictions.


In fact, I had to realize that despite all my concerns and criticisms, every story has its own charm and esprit, if only because it was written with the eyes of a young person. I found the stories of the author 'SenzuBean' as well as those of the hopeless romantic 'CariCaro' particularly imaginative and lively.


(I openly admit that I followed the recommendations here.)


But this knowledge alone did not motivate me to write this letter. Because contrary to all my assumptions, I came across stories that even made my lover's heart beat faster.

Here I would like to refer to the stories of the author 'CuddleUpMe'. As dark and melancholy as her stories may be, she also has an incredible talent for portraying the great feelings of someone who is about to break apart and sweeping her readers away. At this point I really want to add how resourceful I find the idea of ​​supporting visual reading with auditory elements. The author reaches a level that I have only read - to my own surprise - a second time here in this community.


Stories that also touched me a lot were those by the authors 'PrinzVegeta' and 'Mizu'.


But the actual impetus for my current writing was a short story that "throws up" my thesis about the inferior literary quality of these 'fan fictions', as you would certainly express it explicitly. The author of criminal law[I guess the lady knows which path she wants to take in her later life]has written "Pensioners and Gourmets", a work that requires the reader to think along and, above all, to think about values, traditions and clichés.Her series "From Warriors and Vissors" knows how to play with the prejudices in our society and sometimes to make them ridiculous. If she could manage to work on her expression and play more with her vocabulary, she would reach such a level that I would even buy a book from her.


That is the reason why I feel compelled to apologize to the authors and to my friend, whom I stupidly accused of no longer being able to appreciate good German literature.


Sorry for tending to make judgments based only on age, not actual ability.




With best regards
