If the fan fiction deviated too much from what the person expected in terms of the story or the way the characters were portrayed. For instance, if a beloved character was made to act in a completely uncharacteristic and unlikable way in the fan fiction. Or if the story was just a jumbled mess with no clear direction or purpose. It could also be that the person had read many great fan fictions in the same category before and this one just paled in comparison.
They might say it if they were really disappointed with the fan fiction. Maybe they had high hopes for it based on the premise or the fandom it was related to, but it turned out to be a huge let - down.
Perhaps because it deviated from the expected story arc. If it had elements that were not in line with the essence of the original Mulan, like strange character motives, then it could be seen as fan - fiction - like.
Someone might say it because they want to focus on the original work. Fan fiction can be a distraction from the real essence of the original story.
Perhaps it's used to show a moment of extreme rejection or isolation for the person. Maybe they've lost their way or made a series of bad choices that have pushed others away.
They might say it because they think there's too much of it. The market could be flooded with science fiction books, movies, and shows, and they feel it's time for something new.
One reason could be that her works often use a contemporary or near - future setting. In contrast to traditional science fiction that might be set in far - flung galaxies or very distant futures. For example, in her works, the problems she explores are often related to current social and political trends, just with a bit of a speculative twist. So, it gives the impression that she's not writing pure science fiction. Also, her exploration of themes like gender, power, and environmental issues might seem more in line with literary fiction than the typical science - fiction fare.
It could mean that the fan fiction in question is of very poor quality. Maybe the plot is full of holes, the characters are out of character, or the writing style is just really bad.
Maybe they love the movie so much that they want to hear again whatever was said about it. For instance, if it was a trivia fact.
They might be trying to make a point about how much they like science fiction.
Well, it might be that this person has a very warped view of the world. They could be lumping dogs together with something they consider 'filthy' in the context of a type of writing like 'pulp fiction' perhaps because they see dogs as common or unrefined in some strange way. But it's really not a fair or accurate view of dogs at all.
It could be that there was a business deal or a creative collaboration related to 'Pulp Fiction'. But in hindsight, it turned out to be a bad idea. So the person is saying that from the start, one should have said no. Like if it involved investing in a 'Pulp Fiction' - themed product that ended up failing in the market.
