Fanfiction & My Views On What We Own.

[plsteward]

So, about a week ago, I received a PM from a fellow ff.net user. Not unusual. I get them from time to time, usually telling me to update an abandoned fic or telling me that someone would like to help add fics to my C2. Occasionally a crit, maybe just a spammer, but not often as PM's are a bit of a hassle to make tons of

Thats a healthy attitude

[wiccan10]

Ive been reading SGA for a long time now. Sometimes I read eight or ten stories a day. When it comes to publishing my own stuff, I'm kind of wary because I want to be sure that the idea isn't something I subconsciously picked up somewhere. But with thousands upon thousands of stories out there and not all of then cataloged, How can you really know if someone already wrote a Rodney (virgin) /Keller/John aliens made them do it story? (Yea I want to write this one).

Cool idea. I like it.

But that's the problem I binge on fic too and sometimes fanon makes it's way into my personal canon without me noticing. So that's why I take the stance I do.

But go for the fic- I'd read it!
