maderrI really don't get why so many authors disapprove of fanfiction. Granted, I'd be a little O_o if someday I read a fic where Karmikel or Bastion or whoever was in a pych ward or being raped or went on a killing spree...but whatever floats the fanficcer's boat. I wouldn't be *rage and anger* about it. I've seen stranger stuff done to even more random chars.
I also know exactly what it's like to have someone slash your straight characters. *looks at the guilty party* I died laughing. Maybe something changes when you're raking in the bucks. Dunno. But I don't see why it's something to get upset about it. What makes me saddest, really, is that if I ever do make professional (hahahaha), I probably won't be "allowed" to read any fanfics of my stories.
Seriously. What's to get upset about? The fact that someone would donate hours, days, weeks, even months or quite possibly years of their lives writing about your characters? How dare they!
I'm making coffee. Decaf. Then laundry >_< And Dad I swear I'll get to those lists I ow you tonight. Should have them by the end of the week. So so so so sorry I've taken this long. You should yell at me or something.
