Let me go ahead and let it be known that this chapter is definitely a rant. The fan-fiction/alternative universe has always been one aspect of Wattpad that gets on my fucking nerves, and I honestly never planned on writing this, but boy when I tell y'all shit is getting ridiculous—shit is getting ridiculous.
This fan-fiction shit is bogus.
It's like y'all managed to completely disregard what the genre is. I real life be seeing books with celebrities' names in the titles, and "fan-fiction" in the tags, and I go and read the book, and it's an entirely different character in the fucking book.
In a fan-fiction, the author uses copyrighted characters or celebrities, settings, or other intellectual properties from the original creator as a basis for their writing.
Please stop putting Chris Brown, Dave East, NBA ToddlerBoy or whoever else in the title if you're NOT writing a fan-fiction about them. If your character's NAME isn't the celebrity's real life name, and they are not famous in your book, it is NOT a fan-fiction. You are clearly using them as a face-claim.
Same thing with alternative universes [AU], if the celebrity you choose to use is not famous and has a completely different lifestyle than the one in this universe, then cool; but for it to be labeled as an "AU", the character has to have the same name, same friends, same background growing up, same family etc. that they have in this universe. If they don't, it is NOT an alternative universe fiction book.
I already peeped mothafuckas' use these celebrities in the titles and in tags to get reads, and unfortunately it works. The book is always trash as fuck, the writing is poor as hell, the plot be boring and predictable as shit, but it doesn't matter to the readers; as long as Roddy Ricch in that hoe, all that other important shit is gone.

AUTHOR'S NOTE
Lemme' know about some stories labeled under fan-fiction or AU with character names that were nowhere near the intended genre.
