12 – Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?

No. I don’t see the point in it and I have never enjoyed reading a fic like that either. It’s just not for me.

It's not my cup of tea either. But to each their own.

To each her or his own, absolutely! :)

Sometimes they can be cleverly done, and point out unexpected parallels, but most of them are a bit... er, no. But then I suppose that's true of most fanfic!!

True. There are a lot of poorly written fics out there, it can be daunting to find the nuggets. Which I guess is why I read rather narrowly; writers I know are good or character's that appeals to me. That's why I love fic recs so much; you'll get a chance to read outside the box. And I'm sure an adaption fic like that could work very well, though I would probably only read it if it comes recommended.

Weirdly I have occasionally enjoyed fics like that when I'm not actually that familiar with the film in question, I suppose because it reads more as an original story to me, even though I know that it's not? But if I've seen the film and know what happens in it already, then yeah I can't get into those stories at all

I think that makes perfect sense! :)
