- Fanfic Bingo!

Inspired by the discussion of OTW at John Scalzi's blog, Ithiliana, Half Elf Lost, Kitsune13, and Cofax7 created the Anti-Fanfic Bingo card.

They have kindly permitted the OTW to use the card, and we'd like to ask all of you to come up with responses for the objections to fan fiction. Serious responses, funny responses, rude responses, heart-felt responses. Prose, poetry, icons, banners, art, vids -- any response at all! We ask that you stay on topic, but our hope is to create something fun and, well, educational.

You can see the entire Anti-Fanfic Bingo card here, but right now, let's focus on the top row:



How would you respond? Tell ComRel!

1. So are all these laws. Legal can sometimes equal stupid. (http://www.bitoffun.com/Stupid_Laws.htm)

2. Perhaps if I were making money on it, but I'm not, so it's not.

3. Shall I contact them if I'm daydreaming about their characters too? What if I talk about them with my friends? If I accidentally dream about them? OMG DON'T SUE!

4. I never claimed to love the writers. I might love their creations but the art and the artist are two totally different things.

5. Then why bother publishing? If you don't welcome discussion of your characters, keep your characters to yourself.
