[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teen daughter has always read in class, and there was a time when she was reading young adult novels on her chromebook that by her own admission were pretty trashy - but at least they were published works. It took years for me to persuade her (and perhaps the exhaustion of most YA crap on Sora, her school's online library), but this year she's finally reading classics, and I am so happy.

So there's hope, OP. Talk her into some classics. [/quote]
OP here. How should I do this? I just don’t know to bridge the gap between fan fick and Tolstoy![/quote]

I'm a grownup and I went through a three year fan fiction phase.  A lot of it is written by bored women in their 20s who are quite literate.  Some of the fanfics I read have since been transformed into novels published by major publishers.  Or their authors got contracts to write original fiction.

Two examples are Olivie Blake and Ali Hazelwood.

Most of these fics are not worse than the stamped out Harlequin romance novels and Judith Krantz novels of my middle school years.  Consistent with the training of today's young people, a lot of them are full of "consent is sexy" language that really sticks out to me as an older reader.

I'm actually a bit suspicious that OP is faking being a parent.  Because it should be obvious that fic is short for fiction.  But I'm happy to share my POV on fanfics anyway.

The reason these are likely chosen is that there's an endless surfable supply on the Internet that only requires browser access.  Nothing needs to be downloaded.[/quote]
OP here, thank you. This is reassuring. About the “fic” mix up, please keep in mind that my first language is German, so that’s probably why it wasn’t clear to me, sorry.[/quote]
