OMG I'm so glad this post came up b/c a few weeks ago I found out that S.E. Hinton is an obsessed Supernatural fan and writes fan fiction. THE AUTHOR OF THE OUTSIDERS WRITES FAN FICTION. About Sam and Dean. I can't.

Your icon is the glory.

I think you mean the people who tried to put together an encyclopedia?

[ionizable]

i think it's because she's planning on selling her own encyclopedia, so she had to cockblock the fan version

Sorry, George, I just started to fill a prompt on a lovely kinkmeme.

And lol at him thinking everyone who writes fanfic is excluded from writing original fiction or something.

[mingemonster]

it's true, though

the word document i had up full of original writing disappeared as soon as my idea for lestat/cersrei/whatever-that-time-travelling-nurse-was-called popped up :(

[margerydaw_s2]

lol, it's hard, but it's doable.

[fauxkaren]

Which prompt? I have like 5 half finished fills in a word doc.

But I can't seem to finish them.

Ooops.

I get the sentiment of writers who say this, but it's sort of like they've allowed us into their world. Given their characters to us to embrace. Some of us choose to do it (respectfully, for the most part) in fanfiction.

[liberateourtime]

or in some instances, let the characters embrace each other
ba dum chhh

[scarletfbl]

lol, Oh you...

[liberateourtime]
