me : this play is a fanfiction

friend : what no???

me : someone wrote a play based on an already existing play that someone else wrote. it’s the literal definition of a fanfiction

friend : yeah but it’s professionally published and sold

me : still a fanfiction

friend : yeah but it’s good!

me : … just because a white dude wrote it doesnt mean it’s not a fanfiction… or good, for that matter
