ZOMG that first paragraph just makes me all sorts of stupid happy for some reason. And Devin grudgingly accepting... You are giving me way too many shippy ideas. I still have to get her out of the robot because that's just kind of weird.

I don't get published authors that are all uptight about fanfic. Doesn't the saying go: imitation is the greatest form of flattery. If I was published I'd die if people thought my books were good enough to write fanfic for. Not sure what I'd think if they were doing it because they thought my book sucked but I'd still stick with them having the right to write what they want, you know.

One of the authors I follow (for a mystery series) was elated when her daughter came across a LJ community I was in where I (and a couple others) posted fanfic for her books. It made me feel all fuzzy inside even if she couldn't read it for legal reasons.
