Occasionally I've had people ask if they can write something inspired by my fics, which is really flattering! The only reason I've ever said no is, I have an ongoing AU series with extensive lore and characters that are more like OCs at this point. I'm adding to it all the time, and I don't really want others writing about scenarios I might explore in the future, before I've had the chance to do so. I feel like this is pretty reasonable. But to have it as a note on the fic in advance seems really presumptuous to me! It would not occur to me to do that.

The OTW will see you in court, Ms Rice.

Can you explain to me how it seems reasonable to you, given what fanfic is? Because I don't get this at all. I mean, if you have an issue with people using your work as a springboard, how do you justify your own writing using others' work as springboard? Why is it different? If it is okay for you to play in someone else's sandbox, why isn't it okay for other people to play in yours, a sandbox which is inside someone else's sandbox? I write fic myself and can totally understand a passing impulse of possessiveness, but this baffles me. Maybe there's a distinction I'm just not seeing.
