Anti-fanfic Bingo, redux

All right! Our first round of Anti-Fanfic Bingo went beautifully, and we have plans for your responses, but let's move on to the second row of the card:



How would you respond to these accusations? Just like last time, please tell ComRel!

It's a waste of time you should be learning how to become a real writer!

Define 'real writer' and then I'll get back to you on that.

It's totally different if the author is dead!

I don't have anything short or pithy for that because it's so entrenched in logical fallacy and usually attached to a much larger fallacy that I'd run out of room in comments simply trying to boil down why that's so fucking wrong.

...that doesn't mean I won't try. Quick take down: Really being 6 feet under is all it takes? Really? Your precious super amazing works will not be FOREVER MOLESTED BY FANFIC if you're dead when it happens?

It's like you came to my house and stole me car!

Can we please stop equating physical property with intellectual property? Please?
