Re: The moral dilemmas of a fanfic author

In Response To: Re: The moral dilemmas of a fanfic author (ThorsHammer)

: But that's beside the point. I suspect the reason Niven freaked was that the
: novel messed with his characters and worlds in a way he really didn't
: like.

: And in fact, even if he was just refusing to let anyone play in his sandbox
: because he's selfish, well, it is his sandbox, ya know?

I still think he freaked over nothing. I don't think anyone can do something to my characters that I'd be upset over. Because the moment they take the characters, they're evolving them along an alternative universe.

And it has been done to them before :)
