How do you recognize if the IP you want to develop is too fanfiction-ish? Like, waking up in a tv show or traveling through AUs

I got to admit, I find this question just as baffling as it is fascinating. I could point to dozens of recently published works that could be described as fanfic-y. I could point out a couple that used to be fanfic and were marketed as such (controversially, but that is besides the point).

However, your question is if something can feel too fanfiction-ish, and I'd say no. The romance genre is filled with what could be called coffeeshop AUs. Traveling through AUs is Waking up on a TV show or traveling through AUs are just interesting Sci-Fi ideas. You can turn any idea that feels like a fanfic to you into an original series that feels fresh and fun to a new audience. Naomi Novak's first series was just that!

Ultimately, what makes something feel like fanfiction versus original fiction is how you write the story. Fanfiction operates on the assumption that you know and love these characters even if you are writing an AU. Stories that feel like fanfiction to me are ones that don't put enough effort into making my care about the characters or their wants, because when you are writing a fanfiction everyone knows what that is already (no matter how AU it is).

That can be the struggle with writing original fiction, and it's something you have to be careful about if you've mainly written fanfiction before. But the basis of your plot can truly be anything, be it Sherlock Holmes versus Cthulhu (a series by Lois H Gresh) or Doctor Who But Magical (Diana Wynne Jones' Chrestomanci books). The idea will develop and evolve - it's your spin on it that will sell it. Write away!

[fixyourwritinghabits]

Also I'm not trying to reduce the Chrestomanci books into "Magical Doctor Who" - those books are great and you should read them - but what I am trying to say is that any concept can sound like fanfic if you boil it down to its bare bones. You can make anything sound derivative. It's the execution that makes the story.

Had a dream where Johnny from “The Devil Went Down To Georgia” came out as a trans woman and the response was so unanimously positive it reversed nearly all of the transphobic bills in the South. She played live in Georgia to an audience of about a third of the US.

Trump Moves to Deeply Censor the Entire Internet

The Trump administration is cynically exploiting calls for stricter AI regulation to pass broad censorship measures at the federal level.

So, in terrible news, Trump's trying to pull some strings to pass this massive internet censorship bill, featuring all the kinds of internet censorship we're terrified of, including mandatory ID for accessing basically any website, specifically to crush state regulation of AI, because apparently this man will always see the moral bottom of the barrel and start digging.

So, if you live in the US and hate censorship and AI you know what to do, contact your congresspeople and tell them do not fucking dare let this through or so help us god...

More direct source of concern

URGENT: We’re one bad D.C. deal away from the era of online government censorship.

Congress and the White House are negotiating your online speech rights away. Tell lawmakers: reject KOSA, NO FAKES, and age-verification man
