Hmmm, Amazon's about to start publishing fanfiction. Weird.

And from beer good foamy's site, John Scalzi has thoughts you should read.

My initial thought about this -- don't like it. For me, fanfic is about being compelled by a particular universe and loving its characters and sharing that love with like-minded people. It's about community, in a way, and I think that publishing of this sort changes the motivation for writing, the nature of the writing itself, and the audience for whom it is being written. And that makes me kind of sad.

Yeah, really not into it.

Wow. I wish I was as thoughtful as you. I've started writing in my own universe so all I did was look at the Kindle Words concept and think "not applicable to me".
