All this to say: writing fanfiction is about a PROCESS, not a product, and that process is inherently analytical, interpretative, and transformative. We engage in that process not to produce an end product, but because the process itself, and sharing in it with our communities, brings us joy.

Fanfic writers are fully engaged in writing their own what-ifs. Yes, the common source work is a helpful reference point, but by the time we're writing fic, it's clearly something new. We have a common story as origin the same way people have a bible as "origin" for a zillion different religions.

I feel like in some ways, fanfiction can be a similar exercise for writers. Instead of analyzing brush strokes, composition, color mixing, texture, etc. and figuring out how to adapt painting techniques for them, we're analyzing tone, plot, characterization, etc. But we're a LOT more transformative.
