Spin-off, an alternative form of sequel in the time of one source multi use: Crossover and Spin-off, the extensions of story and fictional world

'Crossover' and 'Spin-off' is not rare in American comics and TV shows. Spin-off means a producer makes the extended story which follows the plot or characters. <CSI>, <Law and Order> are typical ones. In Korea, animated series <The Dream of Janggeum> could be the spin-off of TV show <Daejanggeum>. Spin-off needs substantial original work. The position of spin-off should be not too far from original one, but also not too close. And spin-off needs enthusiasm of fandom who wants more story - but it doesn't mean endless postponement. To extend storyline or plot, original work already had substantial subplot. The value of spin-off could give the possibility of explication in other view, not be subordinate by original. 'Spin-off' and 'crossover' are for the consumer, who doesn't want only same elements of original. The consumer want to share the feeling with everybody, include producer. Fandom is important to make spin-off and crossover. Maniac fans want to extend their feelings by fan art, and get most satisfaction from the response of producer. Spin-off or crossover could be the contentment response, which is for the consumer who needs more inspiration, not the story itself. Spin-off is a extension of a fictional world. Minor character or event has also their own story, and it sustain and fulfill the world of original work. But if the original work is poor, or if the spin-off didn't catch the point of core, spin-off could break down the original work. Spin-off is in the middle of ambiguity which is similar but not too same, and also inhere the view of original fiction. It's not easy to spin off. Spin-off extends the plot, establishment, and view of a fiction. It make larger the field of story, and extend the world of the fiction, and give more explications of works. In the contemporary time of 'one source multi use', spin-off is worth to be spotlighted.
