The thing is (to me, at least, and I'm not the OP), she was horrified that people were writing porn about her characters, when her books -- at least the first one, which is as far as I got -- had ridiculous amounts of sex scenes. Like every five pages or something. And they were ridiculous and some were borderline offensive (like the spanking scene where the female character was not willing and it was all about her husband putting in her place, and we're supposed to swoon over the fact that he's so aroused by beating her that he simply must have sex with her afterwards.)

So she can do it, but if a fan writes fanfic where the characters have sex, that's sullying them. Whatevs, lady.

Oh wow. That's a lot more confusing then. I haven't read the books, but if it sounds as porny as that, why would you blame someone for thinking porny thoughts about your characters when you are too?

I gave up on Gabaldon after I realized that I'd read better characterization on ff.n. And come to think of it, better sex scenes too.

A LOT of people asked that question, it's why so many people thought the author's protests were hypocritical. Galbaldon compared writing fanfic with her characters to seducing her husband or selling her children into slavery. Total nutjob rant.

Every time I see the characters=children argument, I think 'So...does that make you a reality-show mom who parades your children's lives and secrets for the world to see so you can make money?'

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly, which is why the analogy is so dumb. I'm never going to NOT roll my eyes when an author pulls this crap.

I did not see this. (O_O)
