Transformers fandom:

Why are you writing fanfiction for a movie that isn't out yet?

I realize that some of them could have been written based on the novel or prequel comics, but the dates on some of the movie-fics is before the release of the first prequel comic and the summaries involve characters that aren't even in the toyline let alone the fic itself. What is wrong with this fandom?

The ones I've read have been silly self-inserts with regular G1 characterization. Only one seemed to refer to the actual plot and I think it was coincidence.

It feels like people just jumping the gun a bit. None of the fics I've read have been horrible.

I haven't read any of them, but I don't quite see the point in writing fanfic when there isn't even a solid canon yet.
