I admit to being far too amused by the subject; I am always tempted to post something about it to trigger rabid responses. Thus far it should be noted that my fanfic production still considerably outweighs my published production, and probably will even after the two contracted sequels to Boundary. So I'd be really, REALLY hypocritical to turn around and condemn it.
I will state publicly, however, that any fanfic written in MY universe/using my characters is potentially offering me your concepts. You may play in my literary yard, but I reserve the right to record your play and use it for my own personal monetary benefit.
This specifically to counteract the MZB and other related experiences; it's *MY* multiverse. You can play in it, but it's still mine, and I can do whatever I like with it.
AH....
