Re: Someone just commented they're tempted to finish one of my fics....

I'm going to go against the grain here and admit that I'd be bothered by someone finishing one of my fics. Even as I say that, I fully realize the hypocrisy, but I can't help how I'd feel. For me, the weird feeling is degrees of separation, I suppose. If I wrote a book or something, and someone did fanfic for it, I'd be fine with it? And even if they sent me a link or something, I wouldn't read it (for legal reasons if nothing else). But with fic of fic, it almost feels like there's this expectation of being pleased and linking to it because we're all one big community, etc. I'm not sure I'm explaining this very well.

sa

If anything, I'd say to them that you'd rather not hand the story over to anyone else, but if they do decide to do fic about it, you really can't read it because you don't want anything to influence you when you finish it. And they can write it without your permission, obviously, but you don't have to link back to it or acknowledge it. I mean, I haven't read this person's message to you, so I have no idea what type of response they're wanting other than 'yes.' I mean, are they just hoping for a 'yes' or do they (even to themselves) expect you to add an A/N saying 'so and so has finished this story! go check it out!' etc.

Same. I know it's a tad hypocritical, but I wouldn't like it if someone took it upon themselves to "finish" one of my WIPs. For starters, I doubt they'd do a good job at it, because the good writers usually have more sense than to attempt something like this. But more importantly, it'd be awkward as hell because there's no way I would read or endorse it, yet my name would be attached to whatever crap the person coughed up.

You are, that's pretty much exactly how I feel.
