Authors Convinced Fanfic is Illegal/Requires Permission

Terry Goodkind: “Copyright law dictates that in order for me to protect my copyright, when I find such things, I must go out and hire lawyers to threaten these people to make them stop, and to sue them if they don’t.”

John Scalzi: “Let's remember one fundamental thing about fanfic: Almost all of it is entirely illegal to begin with. It's the wild and wanton misappropriation of copyrighted material”

Diana Gabaldon: “OK, my position on fan-fic is pretty clear: I think it’s immoral, I know it’s illegal, and it makes me want to barf whenever I’ve inadvertently encountered some of it involving my characters.”

Robin Hobb: “Fan fiction is like any other form of identity theft. It injures the name of the party whose identity is stolen.”

Anne Rice: “I do not allow fan fiction. The characters are copyrighted. It upsets me terribly to even think about fan fiction with my characters. I advise my readers to write your own original stories with your own characters. It is absolutely essential that you respect my wishes.”

Anne McCaffrey: “there can be no adventure/stories set on Pern at all!!!!! That's infringing on my copyright and can bear heavy penalties…indiscriminate usage of our characters, worlds, and concepts on a 'public' media like electronic mail constitute copyright infringement AND, which many fans disregard, is ACTIONABLE!”

Chelsea Quinn Yarbro: “No. Absolutely not. It is also against federal law.”

Lynn Flewelling: “Whether you are writing about Seregil or Fox Mulder or Sherlock Holmes, if you do not have legal permission from the author, their estate, or publisher, then you are violating US copyright law. It is creative piracy. Doesn't matter how many disclaimers you put on, or if you're being paid. It. Is. Illegal.”

the moment michael townsend pulled out the jane austen in the first naturals book, i knew it was over for any other man to have ever existed.

[des-pa-three-toes]

my timeline:

- i read tig series

- i picked jameson to win the love triangle

- i was right! (this is VERY rare)

- i think to myself “oh surely this means jlb and i are just on the same page and therefore ill pick the right winner in any love triangles of hers

- i start reading the naturals series

- i lose the love triangle.

one thing about the naturals series is, you think you know YOU DON'T.

[charsoamerican]

POV: you have won with both love triangles in the naturals and the inheritance games

If the main characters of Jennifer Lynn Barnes books met

Sawyer: so what’s the weirdest thing ever to happen to you? I personally had to experience fancy ladies for half a million dollars,

Avery: oh I inherited 42 billion dollars from a stranger,

Cassie: wait you guys were getting money? I was just getting trauma,

Avery and Sawyer: oh no we got that too

POV : You just translate a whole 300 pages novel into your native language during the little free time you had in high school and uni because there’s not enough content about it on the internet and you needed to contain The Urges
