Welcome to /r/TransFormativeWorks!
Just so we're all clear, the Definition of Transformative Works:
Transformative works are creative works about characters or settings created by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creators. Transformative works include but are not limited to fanfiction, real person fiction, fan vids, and graphics. A transformative use is one that, in the words of the U.S. Supreme Court, "adds something new, with a further purpose or different character, altering the source with new expression, meaning, or message."

DEVILS ADVOCATE FOR CONTROVERSIAL SHIPS
So my friend lost a bet and I had them right an essay defending a controversial ship, it was pretty fun and I reviewed it lol. Anyways thought it would be fun to see y’all’s responses
Time to play devils advocate:
In 500 words or more
Play devil advocate for a controversial ship in any fandom
1.) Defend the mortality and ethics
2.) discuss the appeal of the ship from the shipper’s perspective and your personal perspective
3.) brainstorm and explore a fanfiction idea
have fun !😉
