Sorry that one of your fave authors is pretty much a dick when it comes to fanfic. I've surely been there before, and no doubt will be again with another author I like.

Of course, wrt Gabaldon, this quote: "About that privacy of your own imagination thing...[cough] While not all fan-fic is pornographic by any means, enough of it _is_ that it constitutes an aesthetic argument against the whole notion" had me howling with laughter. I mean, given that she writes epic noncon, domestic discipline, etc., etc., I find her quote just a tad ironic. *g*
