Re: Halogen = Thieves
Posted By: UrsusArctos <zloty5@netscape.net>	Date: 9/10/06 10:26 a.m.
In Response To: Re: Halogen = Thieves (Jillybean) : There are a lot of people who do take legal action against fanfic - including : Anne McCaffrey (though she's recently seen the light loosened up a bit). : Legally I wouldn't have a leg to stand on - but personally I think it's : bizarre. One of the biggest compliments I've ever received was when Dav : Flamerock came up with Jaheijagaj. It's not the first time someone's used : my ideas (with or without credit) but the feeling is always the same. : However Ms McCaffrey was always very involved with her fans, allowing them to : make Pern RPGs and the like. I sometimes wonder how much of the legal : action was her and how much was her publishers and the like. There was : always talk of Pern films and the like, I don't know if that was a : contributing factor or not. : (But then, McCaffrey was always a bit weird) Well, she did let Christopher Paolini copy some of her ideas (Telepathic dragons that bond with their riders) for his immeasurably derivative and exceptionally cliched Inheritance Trilogy. If I were a writer, and someone were to make fanfic based off characters and places that I'd first come up with, I'd either be very impressed or very pissed, depending on what sort of fiction they cooked up about my characters.
