I have a question for readers?
If an author of a fanfic is writing a story based on a familiar novel, or show, or movie. And they expand on their knowledge of said material to write an even deeper or a more branched out version of it, while also still staying true to its roots.
Ex. Let’s say a author is writing a Star Wars fanfic, but they aren’t going off based the tv show version or the movie, but will still include some parts connected to them to help with familiarity. Like characters or an event that took place in either or of the series.
Or…
Let’s say an anime, but they decide to delve much deeper into it. Based on their own knowledge or thoughts they might have of it. They add other elements to it that weren’t ever shown in the show, or never related and brought up.
How would you feel about reading it?

@Dredagoat03 I think that's the point of fanfiction on a public space, to share your interpretation of a media to see if there are others that can appreciate it. I, personal, had skimmed through multiple crossover stories of Young Justice just for the novelty of see how other characters an interact with the premise of that universe. To answer your question, I'd like to read a story that could expand upon a media that has my interest.

@Dredagoat03 Personally, I enjoy reading works that expand from the original source or go deeper, feels more creative than just re-explaining the plot with a new character or changing a few things (granted this can be done really well). but this just ends up to being personal preference, so just write whatever you want however you please.
