Wow, somebody is trying to sell their fanfic: [link]
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
That idea just sets my teeth on edge. So much so that I didn't buy the Surfacing fanzines despite the inclusion of stories by three of my favorite fanfic authors.

Were those for sale for profit, rather than "recoup our printing costs" that's typical for zines? Oof.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Not that I've heard of, and I can't imagine Speranza and astolat (among others) participating if that had been the case.

It was very likely not-for-profit, but just the fact of "for sale" when it's trademarked characters being written about without licensed permission sets off that "DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!" voice in my head.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I'm not sure why anyone would actually think it was ok to do. Are people really that clueless?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Are The Wizard of Oz books et al public domain, owned by the Baum estate, owned by Turner/WB or what?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
All of the original Frank L. Baum books are in the public domain.

Thanks. Ok, then my orginal question of "How did Gregory Maguire get around being sued." has been answered.
So any written publication enters the public domain after 100 years? Provided it is not owned by an estate or summat?
