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!

no subject
I have no desire to be a professional writer, if that's what you mean. I have a job. I went to school for a long time to get it, and I'm really, really good at it. I write for fun. And if that's a problem, you'd better tell all those kids who will never be pro sports players to stop playing.
It's totally different if the author is dead!
Why?
How would you feel if someone wrote fanfic about your story?
They did, and I danced around the room for hours. Someone liked my story enough to want to write something! WOW!
It's like you came by my house and stole my car.
No, it's not.
Okay, if you need more than that: if I steal your car, your car is gone. If I write fanfic based on your story, it's still there. One of these things is not like the other.
