What would you do/think if you got a story of your published and then found that someone had made a forum for discussing it, or had written a fanfic about it?

If it was a forum, I would be speechless, and then join but not say who I was. :P

If it was fanart/fanfiction, I'd be flattered, though the level of flattery would depend on how well it was written. But I WOULD NOT be flattered if it was some perverse crossover.

I agree with that. I hate it when people write fanfics and they make the story nothing like the original thing its based off of. I mean I see M/M pairings for characters that have a woman by their side every moment.

But hey that's just me.

Also, if I saw a fansite for my work that was being run like The Twilight Lexicon*, I'd be mad.

*They require all posts to be approved by mods and anything less than "Twilight is the best" isn't let through.

I think it would be awesome.
I wrote the above just for you.



For a short space of time I remained at the window watching the pallid lightnings that played above Mont Blanc and listening to the rushing of the Arve, which pursued its noise way beneath. The same lulling sounds acted as a lullaby to my too keen sensations; when I placed my head upon my pillow, sleep crept over me; I felt it as it came and blessed the giver of oblivion.
