- Fanfic Bingo!

[mirabile-dictu.livejournal.com]

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!

The MZB case was about MZB wanting to base a book on the ideas in a story that was written (by someone I know, actually, although I did not know her then). The person in question was perfectly willing to permit this provided that she had a share in the copyright and profits (as MZB has done with Diana Paxson and Mercedes Lackey and several other folks) but they could never come to an agreement on what that share should be, so the book was not published.

Thanks for the clarification.
