User blog:The Smarter, Wiser King Dedede/About the fanfictions on this wikia...

I remember back in 2016 and even 2017 and 2018 when this wikia was full of fanfics, and I mean fanfics with ORIGINAL ideas. I mean, not all of them were great, a lot of them relied on stupid cliches that shouldn't have come into existance, like the nicer/meaner sister trope, but they at least had original ideas going for them.

I say this because now, all I'm seeing in terms of fanfics on this wikia is "rewrites" and "my versions" of existing episodes. I know these aren't new, they've been around since at least 2017 (maybe even 2016), but those ones at least TRIED to do more than feel like a copy and paste of the original episode and tried to add new content, scenes, epilogues, etc. Now, we have "my versions" with OCs doing nothing but making background observations, "my versions" blatantly copying other authors' "my version", you get the idea. Stories with original ideas are now far and few in between these days.

I'm not trying to prevent the authors of these stories from writing, but I wish they'd give out more stories with original ideas instead of adding an OC to a pre-existing episode. Everyone has the ability to be creative and it's sad to see most of the fanfics on this wikia nowadays be the taking of an existing episode and adding barely anything to it. I wouldn't mind a "my version" or "rewrite" or "epilogue" or whatever of any episodes so much if they weren't so rampant and didn't overshadow the stories with original ideas.
