Quote:Oh, sure, force me to abuse you...
Bob, feel free to whack me with an appropriate implement if I got anything wrong in 1-5. Six and seven are givens...
I think you hit all the high points... And until I typed that sentence, I had a couple of things to add, but of course they just fled my mind completely, dammit.
Maybe when I check back at lunchtime I'll have remembered them.
Oh, yeah, one of them: I won't do live franchises less to avoid changes that might invalidate what I write (although that's part of it), but because it's possible (if difficult/unlikely) to harm a live franchise. The Marion Zimmer Bradley case which got Mercedes Lackey so paranoid about fanfiction is a prime example.
More when I remember them.
