Also, the premodern Japanese lit tradition includes fanfiction as a valid form of commentary. I'm just saying. Accepted form of commentary, and it can either be great analysis, if the writer specializes as a scholar (Norinaga) or great art, if the writer is primarily a poet (Zeami). Or great neither, but still part of the tradition. I felt so validated when I learned that.
Which is a long way of saying I agree very, very much with 1 & 2. I dance half-in-half-out of 3, in that I love to do challenge fics, which are writing for others, but anything that I write because of my own inspiration is first and foremost for me. Which might explain why I post so little. :) And I agree with 4 & 5, too.
