A question

Nov 22, 2009 04:58

If someone writes a piece of fan fiction for a fandom unrelated to Wicked but decides to use the name "Elphaba" for her "original character" who retains, for all intents and purposes, the same looks and powers-- are they wrong?

Opinions are very much appreciated.

Nope. Sounds like a crossover, or a poor attempt at AU. Sounds benign, though. Could be good or bad depending on the story and the author and the fandom.

yeah, that sounds like either AU or a crossover, though they should REALLY put a disclaimer...

To me it sounds like they are trying to cash in on something they did not create and hope people don't catch on/get away with it (i.e. it being in a fandom unrelated to the original).
