Hey, gang,
What would you think about a venue for "Repairman Jack" fan fiction?
Just curious,

I imagine you could do so elsewhere, but The Man has to shut down such threads here due to legal issues.

But don't let me speak for Paul. Let's ask Paul, himself.

Interesting.....but what about the 42,000 fan stories from "Harry Potter"? And we all know about how JK Rowling feels about copyright, right? Heheheh

So, what are you saying? That there are 42,000 infringements on J.K. Rowlings copyrights? I wouldn't doubt it. There are a lot of shit-birds out there who want to do what they want to do, whether or not they violate anyone else's rights or step on somebody else's toes to do so.
As for me, regardless of copyright laws, I respect the wishes of FPW. And if he doesn't want fan fiction based on his characters, that's good enough for me.

What do Rowlings feelings and her lawsuit, which only emphasizes Paul's point, have to do with what FPW wants on his board? We're all here because of him, and I, for one, respect his wishes.

OMG, Ken, first you and Dave are posting similar thoughts, now it's you and me. Be afraid, be very afraid!

The part about all this that makes me nervous is; which adage holds true here: "Great minds follow similar paths," or "all fools think alike."
Seriously though; we have both met FPW, we like him personally and we like his stories. We respect him as both an individual and a writer. To create "fan fiction" against his wishes is a slap in the face.

Hey, I would have to agree whole-heartedly with Ken, sorry for causing all this trouble, but I just cannot get enough of RJ, ya know what I mean? I would love to see some "Abe" stories, and some other stuff, different angles on the whole RJ situation. But far be it from me to want to slap anyone in the face, much less than the creator himself! :-o

We would ALL like more RJ, but there are only 24 hours in a day, and there's only one of FPW. Good writing takes time.
'Sides, from what I've seen of fan fiction, it's not worth reading. I'd rather wait for the real thing.
