Our next litcon-style panel will be on Saturday, Sept 19 at 9 am! Join me, Dei Walker, Sebastian Marie, J. D. Rivers, MJ Kiwiana, and others from DPP as we discuss pros, cons, and techniques related to converting fanfiction to original fiction. RSVP and Discord invite: discord.gg/rCHHRUTvg?ev...

A simple graphic on a pale blue background. Top text reads Converting Fanfiction into Original Fiction: Pros, Cons, and Methods. A Duck Prints Press Panel.

An image with text that reads: Description: Discussing converting fanfiction to original fiction provokes a wide range of strong reactions, from utter condemnation to enthusiastic support. Conversations on this topic often come from people who are outside fandom, though, and involve a lot of things declared as universals that are anything but. For example, trying to convert a canon-compliant or canon-verse fic is very different than trying to convert an AU fic. These takes often come from a place of denigrating fanfiction, and therefore assuming that any original work made by converting a fanwork must be derivative, mediocre, or poor. Well, the authors at Duck Prints Press are all fanauthors as well as original fic authors, and we know that, much like any writing, a converted fanwork can be terrible or excellent, derivative or original. Thus, in this panel we’ll be taking a nuanced approach to discussing the strong reactions that the fanwork-to-ofic process provokes. (cut for length)
