Good points all.

This made me think of that old GRRM post, which I read recently. The comments are really depressing. It's kinda funny though now, seeing that the last couple seasons of Game Of Thrones have been nothing but Weiss and Benioff fanfic.

Somehow what I'm most stuck on are all the scare quotes around the term fanfiction. It's standard usage on the internet; there's no need for it.

And of course it's the people defending fanfic in the comments of the DG posts that turned it into a mess. It had nothing to do with comparing them to someone seducing her husband and selling her children into white slavery.

One of the sadder thing to me is I know ASOIAF is fantasy AU historical RPF. But I am sure when HE writes RPF it's entirely different and shouldn't count.

It always seems those most decrying it are most guilty of it; Robin McKinley who made her name retelling fairy tales (hardly "her" characters or worlds!), Anne Rice's brief foray into Biblical fanfic, Jasper Fforde's initial puzzlement about why bother using "other people's characters" when all his books involve visiting other people's fictional worlds, and anyone like GRRM who "borrows" from history and then claims they invented and thereby own everything in their work and everyone else can keep their grubby fingers off it :/

Apart from where she did compare those things:

"6) But I just looove your characters! And isn’t imitation the sincerest form of flattery?
Weeeelll...let us just say that there’s a difference between someone dating red-haired men, and the same someone trying to seduce my husband."

Writing fic about her characters rather than someone who resembles them is like trying to seduce her husband rather than someone who looks like him!

and
"it's revolting to see your characters being made to do and say idiotic things or be forced to enact simple-minded sex fantasies (which is what most fan-fic that comes to my unwilling attention is) Like someone selling your children into white slavery."

I think if it's the sort of thing that would actually really bother you, you should take care of yourself first. Disable anon comments for sure.

Think of it this way, if someone does flame you and it keeps you from being able to write more, that's going to be a lot worse to your fans than just not being able to comment anon.
