Fanfiction exists in a legal grey area. So long as no one profits off of it, so long as fanfiction doesn't try to exist in the same spaces as the original, then everyone is content to leave it be. Goodreads is a space of legal books, things that are written for profit. To move reviews of fanfiction into that space is to violate this tacit understanding and it puts fanfiction at legal risk. It becomes an argument that can be used in court that fanfiction can no longer be considered fair use because it is encroaching on the domain of for-profit books.

You put reviews of Dramione fics on goodreads, and now JKR has cause to sue everyone who writes HP fic. Look, she'll say, they're binding their stuff and selling it. They're putting reviews on goodreads as if they were actual books, they're occupying the space that my books are in.

Also, the HP fandom is not thriving because reviews are on goodreads omg.

Wait, you really think Disney could sue because fanfiction is "encroaching the domain of for-profit books"?

You do realize they can't because of Fair Use, right?

Posting a review on Goodreads has nothing to do with bookbinding. You should blame the people who post their fic binds on instagram.

Yes, they can. Fair Use does not mean that you can do whatever please. People can bookbind all they want so long as they do not act like such bindings are books, i.e. selling them.

Posting a review on goodreads and selling bound fanfiction does the same thing: it opens up fandom as a whole for lawsuits. Keep fandom in fandom spaces!
