all of the politician characters talked like politicians

LOL!

We totally should make a fandom, I made everybody in my book club read it a couple years ago, but that book really needs more love. All her non-Earthsea books do, really. Not that I don't like Earthsea, it just gets a lot of attention already.

I think LeGuin may be one of those authors that are a little uncomfortable with the idea of fanfic, though. :( I kind of give her a pass on that because I like her and I'm a hypocrite she's old-school. Still, it gives me a little pause about writing fic for her books, y'know?

[demiincarnate.livejournal.com]

That book has total fandom potential. But is she really one of those authors? That'd be a shame. Do you remember where you saw her say anything of that sort? Maybe we can look it up. I wouldn't want to offend her wishes either.

[cordelia-gray.livejournal.com]

see below - have to bail, will come back with info later if interested :)

[cordelia-gray.livejournal.com]

Here (http://www.ursulakleguin.com/FAQ_Questionnaire5_01.html#FF/) is a link to the policy on her website, which is actually a little more fic-friendly than I remembered, basically amounting to "don't plagiarise, don't make money, and I'm slightly frightened of this new-fangled Interweb thingy". So I'm actually feeling a lot more positive about this whole "Left Hand of Darkness" fandom idea!

Huh, I never knew that. My irl bff is the biggest Le Guin fan evar and he's written Earthsea slash. For some reason he has never mentioned her discomfort at the concept. :)

[cordelia-gray.livejournal.com]

I can know I have a citation for this, but I have to go offline RN. If interested, I will come back in a few hours with info? My recollection is that she's not all OMG, YOU'RE RAEPING MY CHILDRENS! like some, but more sort of concerned about it.

There is a list somewhere produced as a result of some of the recent wank on this subject, of a whole bunch of authors and their feelings about fanfic, I just don't have time to track it down right this moment.

[thene]

I'll admit I'm curious but at the same time I wouldn't want to trouble you as I am firmly in 'fic happens' camp - I don't think a creator's discomfort should stop people writing fic (so long as no one's stupid enough to mail it to them or anything). One of my fandoms is for a canon whose creator has said they don't want anyone to be posting fic online of their works; I don't agree with everything else said writer has ever said, so I don't feel obliged to agree to not post fic.

Here (http://www.ursulakleguin.com/FAQ_Questionnaire5_01.html#FF/) is a link to the polivy on her website, which is actually a little more fic-friendly than I remembered, basically amounting to "don't plagiarise, don't make money, and I'm slightly frightened of this new-fangled Interweb thingy". So I'm actually feeling a lot more positive about this whole "Left Hand of Darkness" fandom idea!

You're not a Diana Gabaldon fan by any chance, are you? *grins*

Generally, I agree on the whole "fic happens" thing, although personally I'd feel a bit squeamish if I knew that the author really hated the idea, partly for the same reasons I feel a bit squeamish about certain kinds of RPF. But of course my squeamishness is totally irrelevant in the scheme of things

[gethenian.livejournal.com]

I got the impression she's not dead-set against it, just kind of like... whatever, go, create, be free, just don't try to get my input on it.

Which is good, cuz I've been writing Estraven and his child Sorve for ages. >.>

[cordelia-gray.livejournal.com]

I looked up her policy on her website (link posted upthread) and it is more fic-friendly than I had remembered, so yeah, you're right.

I think maybe I'm going to have to stalk you & read some of this fic now ;)

[gethenian.livejournal.com]

It's roleplaying, mostly, not so much fic. And it's all sticking the characters in a universe where characters from all kinds of different canons are present being played by other people. I played Therem and Sorve in Milliways for a while, and just picked up Sorve in Under The Rainbow on IJ.
