Why aren't you faithful to the original franchises and characters?
PrevNode LinkNextWhen I hack on my fan-fiction works I apply my education and entertainment creative filters, just like Disney's films or The Muppets have been doing for similar sources.
As I noted:
Note: many of my stories are not too realistic, and aim to reflect a better and more idealistic reality than the one many people would perceive. This is in part because, I am an idealist, and plan to remain so (and my idealism is dynamic and constantly changes), and wish that my words and deeds will carry reality forward instead of preserving the status quo.
In their "Poetics", Aristotle notes:
Homer, for example, makes men better than they are.. Similarly, the characters in my fics are competent: confident, open, forgiving, funny [I hope], greedy and ambitious, resourceful, generous, passionate, socially capable, sexually assertive, and sexy.
