He's made it perfectly clear that he doesn't want fanfic. End of story. To keep trying to change his mind about it because they want fanfic "is whiny" because they don't like his reasons and they feel entitlement to that fanfic.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-16 04:04 am (UTC)(link)Anyways, right now we're talking about two different things. I'm talking about people who bring up authors who don't like fanfiction amongst themselves, who then get called whiny for daring to disagree with an author (kind of like how we got started with this discussion in the first place). Whereas you are talking about people who continue to bring it up to the author, which is a completely different situation.
Honestly, I don't really have anything to say about the second part because I don't even know if that is a thing that people actually do (I don't read GRRM's site, because I don't care about him at all).

(Anonymous) 2012-06-16 04:18 am (UTC)(link)It is what it is.
Talking to the author or discussing it with other people is still whining that you're not getting your way.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-16 04:29 am (UTC)(link)Now, if you consider anyone who disagrees with you, or anyone even having a discussion about something you don't agree with to be "complaining peevishly," then you have a lot of learning to do.
Also, almost every discussion I've seen with people talking about the merits of fanfiction hasn't been at all complaining about how they weren't "getting their way." If that's all you've taken away from the discussions then, again, (once more with feeling) you have a lot of learning to do.
