An open letter to professional writers who are uncomfortable with fanfic

[obsession_inc]

I get it. I do. And this comes from someone who writes, reads, and adores fic. I know that pinch in the pit of your stomach when you come across something happening about your story that you did not mean to happen and the impulse to jump in with the sad face of ultimate woe/horror to yell STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU

I love you for this. The playtime thing is SO EXACTLY what I feel on the subject; thank you for saying it SO WELL.

This is your public stuff.

I never thought about it this way, and YES.
