ONTD Topic: How authors feel about fan-fiction

Something that just caught my attention:

Comments from notable authors such as George R.R. Martin, J.K Rowling, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer and Orson Scott Card about fanfiction. Some are pleased, some are quite protective of their material.

Hahaha. I have nothing to protect. I don't do a lot of fanfiction myself, but my primary work is from the Monster Rancher series (belonging to TECMO).

I think I feel the same way as JK Rowling. Fanfic can really ruin the image of the original.

MGW Update

UGHHHHH!

Here's MGW with an update on life. I'm sorry for being unable to upload anything. In fact, I had little to no time to write. How long will these IRL hindrances last? Probably around the middle or end of the Summer. I also have yet to build up my confidence in writing. Usually I tell myself to just go ahead and give it a whirl, but I can't say that I've been doing well.

LINK TIME!

I think this fits well:

"Several seconds of counting out a solution is just too much, and they take no responsibility for resolving this problem. However, their false sense of confidence triggers serious frustration and anger when they make repeated errors"
