AYRT yes I agree with you, my point was just that I do understand how authors feel. I just think they should ignore it, and not start ranting about it. To be honest fans don't help themselves, because they will ask writers, actors etc at conventions or even on twitter about fanfic. I think the two things should never mix, let the fans get on with it, but don't go bringing it to the attention of the professionals involved. Of course they will know about it's existence, but may not want to discuss it either.

With the examples you cite, the authors are so long dead, I really don't know how Jane Austen would feel if she was alive, but I'm sure some legal action might be in order, it's really fine with the classics, because they are classics, and modern retellings are par for the course.

I remember seeing David Tennant and some other Dr Who person on a chat show a few years ago, when he was still in it. The presenters had found some fan fiction online, which was porn, and were reading it out to them. Everyone was laughing a lot and commenting on how sad it was that people write this stuff, and isn't it hilariously bad etc etc, but Tennant and the other actor (such a bad memory, I think it was a companion but can't remember which, maybe Catherine Tate..) were mortified. He said "that's wrong on every level". I think that's the thing, a well written romp may well be one thing, but it's often the porn, especially RPF, which some actors have asked fans not to write, that's difficult, and I do get why it might feel difficult if someone is writing porn with your characters.
