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 frompegkerr) does not.

Date: 2005-06-24 03:22 pm (UTC)There was for a time a (moderated) section for Pern fanfic on Anne's official website. She has also in the past vigorously acted to protect the Dragonriders of Pern trademark and her copyright. My sense was that the fanfic section was something on the order of a controlled experiment.
