Hypocrisy

[branchandroot]

Jo Walton, aka papersky, holds that fanfic, committed with the texts and characters of a living author, is the equivalent of rape. She went on to claim that the very idea of her characters being taken in vain by a fic author rendered her unable to write, and that readers would have to choose between having fic and having her continue writing herself.

Well, then, I guess she's just raped Gaiman and Pratchett both. We'll all know where to send the complaints if these gentlemen stop writing.
