I love reading fanfiction, I think it's entertaining, but, I don't know, there's a difference between using another's work in this way just for the innocent and sheer pleasure of creative enjoyment/fulfillment and actually making a profit off of it.

Obviously, I'm pretty sure this is all because of 50 Shades of Grey, which was a Twilight fanfiction and became so financially successful. I can't talk about this book specifically because I've never read it, but it sounds like it's actually reasonably removed from the actual books on which it was based. As far as I'm aware, the plot is different, the characters are different (if they're different personality wise, then they're different, nevermind that the names used to be the same), and (to my knowledge, I could be wrong) there isn't even a supernatural element to it. So, basically, it was inspired by Twilight.

While fanfiction is always technically inspired by their original counterparts, it almost always uses the actual characters and settings-- characters and settings that were created by another person entirely. I just feel like there's not something quite moral about using their content for your own financial gain. Like I said earlier, I'm all for posting it online for free and everything, but licensing books to earn revenues from fanfiction? I don't know. It's a weird idea. Maybe, with time, it'll become a norm, but right now it's a weird idea to me.
