Little Linkspam on the Fanfiction Brouhaha

[chomiji]

 

Some posts that I enjoyed and admired included:

 

• kate_nepveu's analysis of the legalities surrounding fanfiction, with case citations.
• yuki-onna's discussion of the nature of human creativity and the need to tell stories.
• nihilistic-kid's dissection of the claim (made by GRRM) that H.P. Lovecraft lost years off his life because he shared his fictional universe (also includes some discussion of the often-mentioned MZB case, in the comments)

Must remember to blog yuki-onna's The Orphan's Tales: In the Night Garden one of these days.
