Okay, that article sucks. "Scottie"? "Dr. Spock"?
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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?

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

Thrive to spite them
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.

Around the same time it was mentioned that Lana's parents were dead, I think.
Though I haven't seen it on Fandom Wank today. Perhaps the kerfluffle's passe.

For those interested, Em Brunson has started a Yahoo Group for fic writers looking to make the transition to original fiction.
