For the people who haven't heard of this woman: please find her rant on fanfiction. It is the most impressive example of hypocritical, OTT and overprotective batshitery you will ever read. It's hilarious.

IDK, I don't think I've ever seen an anti-fanfic rant that wasn't ten pounds of hypocritical, OTT and overprotective batshittery in a five-pound sack. I especially loved the one in which Lee Goldberg's friend Paul Guyot got in on the act, and went off on a tangent about how no one who had the Soul Of A Writer would ever write fanfic.

It is especially and deliciously ironic in this case, because A) she based her hero in these books on a Doctor Who character, and B) the books are already very porny, in a very fanficcy sort of way.

Apparently there is also a 1925 novel, The Flight of the Heron by D. K. Broster, that is set during the Jacobite rebellion, with characters that are strikingly similar to some of Gabaldon's:

"Broster's novels also form a bridge between the classic Scottish historical adventures of Stevenson and co, and more recent writers such as the very. popular American novelist Diana Gabaldon, whose hugely successful Outlander series covers the same period, in its earlier books, as The Jacobite Trilogy. Gabaldon's highly entertaining historical adventures are particularly memorable for the fresh twist she gives to friendships between men, especially the convoluted friendship between the young Highland chieftain Jamie Fraser and the English soldier Lord John Grey. Gabaldon's companion volume to the series, Through the Stones, includes a list of suggested reading which she feels her fans may enjoy, and The Jacobite Trilogy is listed there. It is clear that Gabaldon has read the Trilogy; and the Fraser/Grey relationship surely owes something to Ewen Cameron and Keith Windham. Like Cameron, Gabaldon's tall redheaded hero is saved from a firing squad after Culloden by an English soldier who owes him a debt of honour; and Gabaldon looks at similar themes of friendship and allegiance. Broster's psychological explorations of character took the Scottish historical adventure a step further, and suggested perspectives which Diana Gabaldon has developed further and, as a modem writer, more explicitly."

Some writers borrow, and others just steal.

FotH is much, much better than anything of DG's, too - in fact it's about time I re-read it.
