Did you guys all read this article?  Too bizarre and interesting and funny not to read.

LOL! Awesome article. I especially liked this line:

Reading the assorted posts this weekend was like standing amongst a crowd of people watching a swimmer cheerfully strap on raw meat before diving into the shark tank.

I'd say that pretty well sums things up. :)

It is pretty funny . I *do* feel nervous sometimes about copyright issues, primarily because people can be jerks just to be jerks and I have to admit I totally cringed when I read what that woman had done. I was like "Idiot!" (insert Napoleon Dynamite impersonation here)

It's funny to think of fanfiction becoming a more visible thing. I remember what a hard time I even had grasping the concept when I first tripped over it. "Wait....the *fans* write what the imagine happening? What?" :) And I think it still has such a negative stigma, not only copyright issues, but I think most outsiders think all fanfic is S&M pedophiliac Snape/Harry fic. Not that that sort of stuff doesn't unfortunately exist. (Hey...to each his/her own...I just don't want to read it. Ever.)

*snorts*

And to think, one wonders if this journalist even bothered to test out the waters of badly written porn?

Do you think the author was too kind to fanfiction in general?

(I sit here in awe, that this article came out in Florida newspaper. Even more amazed that it was in Daytona.)


It's a great article! The fanfic community is so pissed off about her book.

I know! Isn't it hilarious? She is obviously an idiot, but what strikes me the most is the inherent fear that some moron like that might ruin it for the rest of us. Interesting. :)

Yeah, with some of the comments out there I feel like we're all in some Godzilla film. You know those scenes where all the people are standing around screaming and pointing?

:D
