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
