- noracharles: Two examples of remixes which challenge the original fic - Fellow fan writers: Remixes are wonderful, and having a remix written for one of your fics can be the best, most detailed, most flattering kind of reader interaction ever. But you do not control the way a reader reads your fic with your telepathic mindbeam. You can not control the way a reader reads your fic no matter how carefully chosen your words. No matter how much a reader loves your fic and agrees with its entire premise, you can not stop the reader from living in the world, and therefore seeing your fic in a context. -
- alixtii: Transformative Fandom is My Affirmative Fandom--and Vice Versa. - how often it was put forward that fanficcers were doing what we do out of love, as if that should matter somehow, and how problematic it was, this implication that it'd be right for us to be ashamed of what we do if we did it--when we do it--out of hate or anger or merely mild interest or simply because we can, that it's only because it's being done out of love that what we do is okay. And I really can't begin to describe just how damaging that seems to me, how pernicious I find the notion that really, fanfiction ought to be celebratory. -

hollow_echos: Our Heritage - When you put something out on the web, it’s not just yours anymore. It’s in the public domain and those words belong to everyone that takes the time to read it. And as far as I am concerned, no one has the right to delete or modify material that has been posted out there for others to read. -
