I wrote original fiction for a while before venturing into fanfiction, and I think it really helped me refine my writing skills. For one, it was a lot less dark than my original fiction D), and reading new stories introduced me to a very large vocabulary and many different writing styles!
Just recently I have been writing most of my stories in second person, which is really fun!
The only problem I seem to have now is that I can't seem to properly build characters of my own since I'm so used to pre-made characters and worlds. I need to look up some exercises online to help me with that
The slash debates... been through those for years. You like what you like, you don't like what you don't like. Personally, I just don't read or pay attention to fanfiction with subjects I don't like- because it's common courtesy to label them with warnings before starting the story. If someone doesn't label their stories, it's OK to send them a message or review asking them to do so nicely!
I'm a shipper, so perhaps I feel a little hurt whenever I hear people say "they shouldn't upload their fanfics" or "they should go somewhere else". I label all of my fics properly, and put them in the right sections, so I don't see why we can't get along (Even if you don't like them!)
In response to someone's concern with fanfiction that has a Christian theme- Star Trek isn't one of my fandoms, but I would LOVE to read fanfiction with a Christian theme or references! That sounds super interesting (And Fanfiction.net is definitely a great place to upload, I've been there for years!)
