Feels like fanfic
Date: 2017-09-02 05:55 pm (UTC)There's a feel of amateur writing, but this doesn't have that for me. It's an examination of existing texts, which a lot of fanfic does, but then so do many of my favorite books. Did Diana Wynny Jones's Tough Guide to Fantasyland feel like fanfic to you?
I haven't read SRB's potter fic, but I've read her other published books and this feel like those. I've read Novak's fanfic and her published books and those have a different feel, mainly that she takes shortcuts in fanfic on the assumption that readers already know about these characters, shortcuts that she mostly avoids even in the later volumes of Temeraire books.
