No, it's not. Crazy thing some people like their ideas and characters to stay theirs. Not everyone is worried about the extra bucks they hypothetically could make off Sally's AU fic about the vampire characters as teens. (Or whatever.)

Um, a person writing fanfic doesn't make the characters any less of the author's. I don't even understand this kind of mentality. If a person writing fanfic meant the author was going to lose out on their property then JK Rowling should be a pauper right now.

And if you mean metaphorically "stay theirs," then I don't get this mentality either. If you are so insecure that you can't handle the thought that someone, out there, might do something to your characters...well, fanfiction is hardly your biggest problem in life.

(Also, you're going to be losing a lot of sleep because if we can all be sure about one thing, it's that fanfiction will be written.)

Yes, it mostly likely will be written but that doesn't mean the author has to agree with it. Sure, you can see the benefits that this would give them and their fanbase but in the end it is up to them to want it or not.

The only time I would agree with you on this is with a writer not wanting fanfiction done on their own fanfiction. And that is only because it is hypercritical.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-16 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
And I'm not saying an author has to agree with people writing fanfiction. What I am saying is that I reserve the right to think that they're being short-sighted, old-fashioned, and just generally wrong all around. Particularly when they attempt to go so far as to ban fanfiction, because that shows an incredibly sad amount of immaturity and insecurity to me.

Basically, authors can have whatever POV on fanfiction they like, and I can criticize them for it however I like.

(Also, IA about fanfiction writers not wanting fanworks of their fanfic being ridiculously hypocritical. I can't stand it when people do that.)
