Depends. Are we talking about terrible crossover fanfiction, or things that show used-up characters in a new light?

Backstory time

I wrote that short-short-story with the sole intent of entertaining a few friends interested in literature, some of who thought of themselves as wannabe-writers, and a published poet of a teacher we had at the time. We were writing one-page long short stories that read as anecdotes or jokes, just for fun, and I came up with this one. I remember the original stuff being written in by pen in a paper sheet, being considerably longer and able to take a few laughs from a few friends.

I had a good chuckle from you guys saying that there is a dragon slaying re-imagination, but in the end there is some truth to it.

Cya, /lit/

>Besides, Huxley did a much better job of predicting what the world would become. Orwell was right about...north korea and thats about it.
OK, this is a criticism of Orwell I really can't stand. He wasn't claiming to be Nostradamus here, and I think it's stupid to judge his books retroactively on how 'relevent' they turned out to be. Looking past the fact that 1984's critique on the expansion of state power is something that does resonate in western society, when Orwell wrote 1984 in 1948, the collapse of the Soviet Union was far from assured, and seemed like a fantasy. The Cold War was not determined from the start and the West wasn't magically going to win all along because of end-of-history bullshit. Why can't Huxley and Orwell both be partly 'right', if we have to judge books on how correct they were. I think you have a bad attitude.

>Orwell was fine, but most of his stuff was either "Man, communism is great!" or later, after communism revealed itself to be shit, "Man, communism is shit!"
This is a simplistic reading.
