WTFBBQ?

[pez]

I'm not much of a fan of fandom_wank, but I do go there when people tell me there are interesting posts or if a certain person (who seems to have now disappeared) is mentioned.

And this link I just nabbed from my friends list.

Pay me or don't ever ask me about my WiPs. Who cares if it's fanfiction, I shall make a profit from it anyway (in the disguise of "people are supporting my living, not paying for my fanfics), who cares about the legal issues. And how about writers who stay up late at night and early in the morning to try to make their publishing dreams come true? They're just idiots.

[edit] SO CUTE *wants to make icons out of them...*

[edti2] and this is cute, too!

It depends on the original author's standing on it too, I suppose. Japanese publishers consider doujinshi a form of free promotion. On top of that, the majority people who draw doujinshi don't really make real money from it, they only make enough to cover the material and printing cost, not to support their living. But the person in that post wants to be supported.

From her posts afterwards it seems like some people have paid (she mentioned paying them back). So let's just assume she's a good author ^^ I don't want to sound like I'm totally trashing her without knowing who she is. I just don't think it's a smart idea, that's all. Even if she's very good, she ignored the other authors and the legal issues and that's just... *sigh*

*meep @ comic writer* Ah well. ^^" at least he did completely original work, I hope.
