Date: 2010-05-14 02:03 pm (UTC)I don't think I, personally, have ever seen a serious assertion that fanfic (as a class) is superior. I've seen assertions that a given fanfic is better than the original -- and in a few cases, I've had to agree -- but not that fanfic itself is better.
I don't, as I said, see much DIFFERENCE between the two classes aside from the fact that one of them goes through professional slush selection and then editing processes first.
Anyone who's seen a real slushpile knows that the quality of original fiction STARTS OUT no better than that of fanfic -- and has all the same sins.
