#ok to rb
#like. ig my opinion is that lit generally tends to engage on a more critical level than fic
#and thats okay! not Everything has to be A Big Endeavor in which you Learn Something New or engage critically
#you can consume just for the sake of consuming and appreciate creations just on an enjoyment-based level
#however! you should push yourself beyond your comfort zone and enage with material that requires critical engagement
#as you should with every area of life - not just media consumption and specifically literary works
#alongside that something doesnt have to be groundbreaking or profound or intellectual to have value - especially someones creation
#there was a post that said fic and ya is just employment of tropes and while it was very cynical i think there is truth to it
#lit is theme-centric and tends to devote itself to audience takeaway/s
#whereas fic is based off preexisting work with themes already established and both reader and author have a general opinion of themes
#already employed. in-depth fic can be exploration of those themes and/or studies of characters with new themes applied
#so yeah i think the fundamental difference of lit vs fic is whether ot focuses on themes and tropes and while trope-centric stories tend to
#push along the story for the sake of the story/genre/trope - lit is pushed by themes and the story is demonstrated through characters
#rather than a series of tropes happening To the characters
#so by that logic fic CAN engage at the same critical level as lit in terms of theme exploration but most of the time its trope-based and se
#within the confines of themes someone else already explored that both reader and writer are comfortable with
#(or themes common to a tagged trope - rather than specific story - that both author/reader are comfortable with)
#so in all - nothing fundamentally wrong with either but they very much dont tend to engage on the same level
#and it IS the responsibility of you - the consumer - to challenge yourself to new themes and thinking material
#rwther than sticking to familiarity
