I went skimming through the comments on her blog and my brain hurts from so much of the fail, it's ridiculous. Some of those people don't understand the definition of plagiarism and my favorite comment stems from those who say they're writers themselves that go "I am appalled by why people would do this! If they want to write, why can't they write their own characters instead of stealing someone else's!" Completely missing the point of fanfiction, dudes. And let's not forget that this author in question is writing about a Doctor Who character in her stories. Irony of the situation much? lol

I wonder what these people think about fanart or fanvids, it's the same thing as fanfiction just in a different creative format. Without these things, there would be no fan communities to share the love over such materials, even long after it's over with.

Another thing I'd like to point out in the new NOES that really bugged me was that classic scene with Freddy coming through the wall when Nancy is dreaming. TOO CGI I WAS TAKEN OUT OF THE FILM BECAUSE OF IT! Like, the original scene with that they didn't have CGI and a smaller budget to go on, but still that was more realistically done because I remember during the commentary Wes Craven talked about how they used a flexible board where they would have the Freddy face just push through, that made it so much more creepy than what happened in the newer one. So yeah, there's my gripe. I do think the more we think about it the more flaws we nitpick at. Heh.

I'm definitely whipping out my DVDs and watching them, for sure. ;)
