At first, I had planned on gathering information about the significance Fan Fiction had on people (via interviews) and then placing the information on some type of online archive that anyone could access. However, due to a virus that got onto my laptop, I ran out of time to have even a chance at doing this.
Then, I realized I could easily attach the information I'd gathered onto my video from the first mini project. Since I only had a day left to do this, I was pressured. Still, I got it done and, frankly, am proud of the finished piece.
What makes me really feel satisfied after finishing this video is that I was finally able to put my thoughts about Fan Fiction into words. Before, I only had emotions and when I tried to explain it to people I couldn't do so in a manner which brought its significance justice.
I succeeded in this video. I was capable in finally answering someone who asked why Fan Fiction is so important.
I was not only able to gather opinions from my peers, fellow writers, and some academic point of views but also my own. I saw many different points of view that I've never thought of before.
I never realized that there are probably some authors out there who don't like the thought that readers are changing the plot they worked so hard on.
I also never realized how serious the possible copyright battle could be if someone takes offense to Fan Fiction. It really makes me pause and wonder if us Fan Fiction readers/writers are just on borrowed time or if we could possibly win a court case.
I can't wait for the next project because I have a really good idea in my head and I want to know what the outcome will be.
I have no idea what I would do if I got a virus on my laptop. Im glad that you got it done. It was a great continuation on the first mini project!
ReplyDeleteWow. I didn't think that adding on a story or changing the plot was such a huge deal. But I think that if they don't sell the work they did or what they continued onto the story, there shouldn't be any copyright battle at all.
