Man, J.K. Rowling's the only one with sense.

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.

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

Aw man, when I read that about S.E. Hinton, I smiled. :) Neil Gaiman writes fanfic too, and he's quite praised for it.
