How your favorite authors feel about fan-fiction.

I'm just going to leave my response riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight here.

Meanwhile, I learned something new today; If an author can write "Twilight" fanfiction, swap out the names and become published (Ex. 50 Shades of Gray, which has a friggin' movie deal), my writing has a chance of making it out there too.

J.K. Rowling's response reminds me of one of the very first fanfic I ever read, which introduced me to porn and slash all in the same sort of horribly disorienting/confusing moment. orz. IT WAS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE, let's say. So it's okay J.K. Rowling, those who will stumble across Harry/Draco porn are probably old enough to handle it, and if they're not old enough to handle it, what are their parents even doing allowing them to wander around the big bad Internet all by themselves :(?

At least Orson Scott Card and Charlie Stross are honest about it.

"Bitch, fair use can go suck a dick, I don't even want the CHANCE that you'd cut into my royalties."

I also like Martin's. "Only I'M allowed to fuck up my characters. >:C" Awfully like a RPer there, aintcha? XD

...Is it bad that the part that upsets me the worst there is "you're implying there are OTHER KINDS of slavery?"

Blergh, that article. :/ (On the other hand, though, knowing that the author of The Outsiders writes fanfic kind of made my week.)
