I want good copies of this guy's maps of Westeros etc soooo bad.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
In one of those minus-breadcrumbs sideslips through FoF journals, I came upon this rather lengthy essay on fandom and fic. It starts out about the western, which I know is anathema to many, but only to use the demise of the western to illustrate the possible, even probable course of fandom, and fic, in the future. I thought some might find it interesting. It's here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does GRRM have a stated stance on fanart?

I don't know. It does seem to be all over the place.

Because books.
Didn't the Time article say he was okay with fanfic? I can't remember now, but if he's okay with that, he's probably fine with art, too. Or I would assume so.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
GRRM is not particularly okay with fanfic, no. Unless he's changed his stance recently.

Wikipedia sez:
Martin is strongly opposed to any type of fan fiction, believing it to be copyright infringement and a bad exercise for all aspiring writers.[citation needed] He never gives permission for any of his intellectual property to be used in fan fiction.

GRRM's actually the first person when I think of embargo on fanfic. Then Anne Rice, then Ursula K Le Guin.

Oh! Maybe in the Time article he was named as one of the authors who is against it, then. Oops.
Thanks, Dana.
