Fantasy ripping off Tolkein? Someone ring the fucking papers.

[cushlamochree]

That's true, but Brooks was one of the people who kind of came up with the whole concept of ripping off Tolkien like that, so you can give him a little more blame for it

As others pointed out, writing is one thing. Getting published and earning money off of another's ideas is another.

Look at it this way: it's the precursor to 50 Shades of Gray, and that One Direction fic that's being published.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's worse than that. 50 Shades of Gray has a distinct plot from Twilight.

[(Anonymous)]

Except that 50 Shades of Grey differs from Twilight much more than Sword of Shannara differs from LOTR. Imagine if 50 Shades were about a high school girl named Stella who lived in a small town in Oregon, met a hot vampire named Edmund and had a doomed love triangle with him and a shirtless dude named David who was also a werewolf, etc. etc. and the comparison would be closer.

[(Anonymous)]

Except 50 Shades originally began as one of those "All Human AU" fanfics of Twilight that just eventually filed off the serial numbers to get published. A closer comparison to 50 Shades would be Diana Galbadon blatantly using a Doctor Who character in her books and filing off the serial numbers so the BBC wouldn't notice.

...One Direction fic? *baffled face* Well...I have no words, it's not like there's not precedent going back for as long as writing to have fiction about existing characters...

But I'm still baffled because one direction?
