Why it's harder to write an essay than a fanfic, by someone who is pretty decent at essays (at least in uni on a computing course).
1- deadlines. Fic writers generally only have deadlines set by themselves, and the guy who set them is a tool anyway. Essays? Deadline set in stone.
Result: Pressure.
2- conciseness.
Essays, especially shorter ones, require that you display comprehensive knowledge of the subject in very few words. Getting the right info in and cutting back on the waffle is tough.
Fics: I can assure you that 70% of my words in any given fic classifies as waffle.
3- research.
Getting into a research rabbit hole for an essay gives you maybe one or two useful sources, but wastes a lot of time. Finding the information needed for citations is somehow worse than finding the paper itself.
Fics: you can use the results of your uni essays research rabbit holes to get your next plot point. Most other research rabbit holes wind up useful in some way too. No need to cite.

To the point of the last one, the reaction time of fanfic/original fic readers to something being stolen is unmatched. I had a work of mine stolen and posted elsewhere two or three times (the same fic) and by the time word got to me, without fail, people were already reporting the bajeezus out of it and it was down within the hour of me hearing about it. The fic reading community is nothing to be trifled with. This happened YEARS ago and it still impresses me.

The one at 7:20 is relatable. I found some of the old fics I'd written and cringed so hard I tore the pages out of my notebooks. One of the fics took up the entire notebook, and I literally removed the spiral ring from the binding just to get all the pages. Two days later, I went outside to the firepit and burned all of the pages to ashes.
I would rather watch their worlds burn than have another person fall into awareness of their existence.

1:15 Actually, the majority of Undertale fanfic where skeletons are shipped together contains HEAVY elements of omegaverse, but due to being so far ingrained into the fandom it doesn't even need to be tagged anymore
God, why am I chronically online?

20:08 When fandoms unite to save their fanfics they are more succesful than the polish police

I remember a reviewer my one fandom had a while back that was commenting on random fanfics with reviews saying that it was "pig sh1t" and that their stories were better and to read theirs. They seemingly made an account that copied someone's actual account name (with slight differences). I got two messages warning me about the reviewer about an hour before I got a review from them. We all kind of banded together and this reviewer (who we dubbed "pig sh1t") eventually disappeared. They ended up popping up in another fandom of mine and my first thought was "aw I missed you".

My favourite thing about the whole ao3 shut down for repair was that everyone collectively decided to express their woes on tumblr making ao3 trending love that about us
