It's how things go. Regardless of the quality of a piece of fanwork, it will always be treated as lesser work to the official work. My work uses MGE as a framework to start with and I don't charge money for it, so it's considered to be inferior, even if my writing is a match for KCs and my world building skills are superior. It's not official, therefore it can be diregarded "just a fan-OC thingy" without a seconds hesitation. It's actually why I started the competition. Fanworks like my Reptile Kingdom, LoS's shark tank, and Jeiels Oz never get any respect regardless of how much effort is put into it. I refuse to accept this though. I don't see my work,or anyone else's deserves to be ignored just because we aren't getting paid for it and the only way for it to not be ignored by the powers that be is to get as much work involving it being made as is possible, not just by me, but my as many other people as possible. To drive it forward, out of the shadows of obscurity and into the light!

(Yeesh, think I got a bit dramatic there, but my point still stands so meh.)
