@KRWilliams Yeah I gotta agree here - and it's not to slack off Fanfic or the creators of it.
But one of the reasons I really like Tapas and started uploading here was because of its dedication to original works. I'm on other sites where there's fanfic and original works and the original works are suffering. Always. Fanfic will always win. And it was just nice to find one site where it wasn't like that.
I also think it'll hurt the overall site in terms of monetised works, if it's always Fanfiction dominating the popular lists and the trending lists. You can't monetise fanfiction - and I don't even think you'd be allowed to turn on ad-revenue or tips as you really can't earn anything from it. Unless you wanna get sued. Or have written permission from the IP holder to distribute the fanfiction.
