I was pretty conscious of the fact that not everyone may be familiar with my source material (my beta wasn't!!!) and tried to make sure that my entry was able to stand on its own, if that makes sense. Like: if someone was familiar with the source, they would see the parallels and recognize the plotline, but if someone else wasn't, everything would still make sense to them as a cohesive story, pre-existing knowledge of the original wouldn't be necessary for comprehension. I'm sure that other people took this into consideration as well, so I'd say you can probably just comment the same way you would for a non-adapted fic in those cases.
I'm actually really excited for the entries that are adapted from works I'm not familiar with. It may be a good way to find new things to love!!
