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.
Another reason could be a lack of audience interest. If they notice that the people they usually tell stories to are no longer interested or responsive, they may feel discouraged and say they can't speak anymore stories. Think about a person who always tells jokes at a party, but the guests stop laughing or paying attention. Eventually, that person may think there's no point in telling more stories.
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.
Because moms are often seen as more conservative or sensitive about sexual topics. Telling her sex stories might make her uncomfortable or even angry.
Maybe there are some disturbing or sad elements in the real story that they don't want others to be exposed to.
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.
It could be that they've read 'Magpie Bridge' novels and found them not to their taste. So, they don't want their own work to resemble something they don't like. Maybe the language used in those novels is too flowery for them, and they want a more straightforward and modern way of writing.
It could mean not to talk about or recite made - up stories based on existing fictional works. Fan fiction often involves fans creating their own narratives using characters or settings from established franchises, and this statement might be a request to refrain from doing so.
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 be that speaking about fan fiction might spark debates or negative reactions from those who have strong opinions about it. Also, some fan fictions might contain content that's not suitable for all audiences, making it a tricky topic to discuss openly.
