So you completely ignore the first part then.

And the whole context of what you quote: But, you insist, real authors and publishers would never give their blessing to fanfiction--the only way it could ever occur is without the author's permission!

Not true! Have some examples of fanfiction sanctioned by industry professionals and/or the original authors themselves--and in some cases, written by the original authors:

Is it really fanfic if it's written by the original author?

[(Anonymous)]

Most fanfiction isn't sanctioned by the original authors, though. They may overlook its existence, but that doesn't mean they approve of it. Some creators even explicitly tell people not to write fanfiction about their works.

Like Ann Rice?

Lol whaaaat.

We're not talking about whether or not fanfiction needs permission. We're talking about whether stealing someone's world/characters and making money off of them is okay. If an author gives explicit permission to a fan to publish her fanfic and make money off of it, it's a non-issue either way.

Most creators are NOT going to do that. And if some people do manage to get their fanfics published without permission, especially when the author is still living, it's still a shitty thing to do.

Better all sue Wicked for making money off The Wizard of Oz.

I'm sure if it was a legal issue it would've been done already. But Wizard of Oz is public domain, so, oops.
