Fan Fiction: Against

[rolanni]

Robin Hobb has posted a cogent rant here. Link from pegkerr

I know that some folks on my friends list write fan fic, and may thus not agree with Robin's points. If you feel compelled to disagree with them here, please be polite and rational. Posts deemed impolite, irrational, or both, by Eagles Over the Kennebec Management will be deleted.

In the service of Full Disclosure and Fair Warning, I do agree with Robin's points. Scott Lynch (link also from pegkerr) does not.

That would of course be "litter the landscape."

Gah.

The utter ineditability of LJ comments drives me bonkers. I know why it's there socially, to keep people from changing what they claim to have said, but argh.

For instance, in my posting above, "that fanfic can be" should be "that fanfic CANNOT be". Sigh.
