    Okay, so personal rant coming up…

    I was reading A few posts off site that a couple friends had shared and I felt absolutely disturbed by them.  It might be a few years back and all, but...  

    To have published authors who readily compare fanfic to home invasion (because (imo) free publicity is certainly the same as having someone break in and take everything), immoral  (... not touching that idea...) making them want to 'barf' (excellent wording, btw), and referring to it as adultery... 

    Are you serious?  I understand the idea of not liking it (I don't agree, but that's a personal thought process and one I can't force on others)...  But really?

    Sorry, just a little growly over this...

      Many authors like JK Rowling understand the role of fan fiction in building their fan base. Despite the often dubious content we see here, people do love her world. And fan fiction is a brilliant way to hone your writing skills because you have the world already there for you, with characters, and settings, and a canon you can use.

      @Desiderius Price  The ONE C&D was from Anne Rice.  She is notorious for that, and for stalking individual authors who write in her worlds.

      @DemonGoddess that's hilarious you mention that, because she was one of the ones mentioned in there.

      @BronxWench Dubious content?  Here?  No...  I've never seen that here...  Say it ain't so…

      And going back a little ways to tie into what you said, it is good to build fan bases.  Fan bases on one usually have several others.  To me, it's a compliment, but it's also free publicity in there too.  And not just for one distinct one, either.  A reader might connect something on one to something different (while not fan fiction, I wouldn't have known about Schadenfreude if you and Pippy hadn't mentioned it).  Writers talk.
