I'm not sure how long Career Change has taken. It's going to go into next year, I know.

edit: If it even counts. I see it as one over-arcing story with episodes

Apparently I'm the first person to notice this?

The Guardian has an article on HP fic today. Also references Buffy, Xena, & Trekfic, and provides the mandatory link to FF.net.

Wonder if the writer of the article knew about the plagiarism issue that's tarnished the writer they chose to focus on... probably not. ::shrugs::

Okay, that article sucks. "Scottie"? "Dr. Spock"?

I'm a bit annoyed since I know for a fact that someone on the Grauniad's editorial staff has a deep and multi-fandom knowledge of fanfic. Clearly she was not consulted for this article. t shrugs

I'm gonna have to poke her.

Bwahahah! Dr. Spock!!!

Okay, maybe somebody is or has written Kirk/Dr. Spock.

Possibly an mpreg story?

sumi, that's just simply evil. Congratulations.

Thank you.

Now, if only I could have worked in My Pretty Pony or the Backstreet Boys. . .

I'm sorry, did someone say there was plagiarism in Harry Potter fic?

Signed, grimly-amused LJ surfer.

Now I'm having flashbacks to the My Pretty Pony fic I read.

The site I found had strict rules to the type of fiction that was acceptable...obviously anything of an adult nature was not acceptable.

I wonder if there is Strawberry Shortcake fic out there? or Rainbow Brite.

Or Strawberry Shortcake Rainbow Brite crossover fic.

I would never say such a thing, ever. But I might point out that you won't find a certain HP writer's stuff on FF.net.

To be less snarky, I sort of participated in a long multi-blog discussion on this about a year ago, when Jintian started talking about it. There *is* a line between plagiarism and infringement, but it's amazing how many people seem to think that fanfic=plagiarism and therefore any plagiarism within fanfic is okay. You know, the "it's just fanfic, what's your problem?" school of argument.
