Fanfiction: Yay or Nay?

OMG…well, I say a big ol’ YAY for fanfiction.  Yes, I know there is a lot of dreck out there in the fanfic world.  But there is a lot of dreck out there all over, so why not here?  Let’s at least have equal opportunity dreck, huh?

I have heard tell that Anne Rice gets extremely nasty with folks who write fanfic with her characters…but I have also heard of plenty other authors who just don’t worry that much about it.  I never cared much for Rice’s stuff anyway, so don’t really care one way or another on her; but if I were a major fan of her writing and wanted to show that by writing my own stuff, showing my excitement by using her characters and got a nasty threatening letter, it would turn me into a non-fan pretty damn quick.

I have read lots of great stuff out there, in particular my favs are Sherlock and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  What is your particular fanfiction love?

 

Until next time!
