Re: Fanfiction?

OK there is a website out there that does have some fanfic on it. Personally Im not a fan of it as I feel that it can do a number of things.
1) It can change the characters in much the way that certain fan fic did for Star Trek where Kirk and Spock "got it on."
2) It infringes the intellectual copyright of the author and should a piece appear say Druss vs a dragon and then DG had written a tale with Druss fighting a dragon then the fan could technically sue for copyright, although the author could counter sue for the theft of his copyright in the first place. It gets really complex.

Personally I always think its best to write your own stuff, you can do what you want and not have to worry about anything. Likewise if you had to do something Fanfic wise Id advise just putting it perhaps in his world rather than meeting known characters. However if your imaginitive to write something like that your imaginative to create your own stuff so why bother.
