As I know some of you have already seen: Diana Gabaldon on why fanfiction is a terrible horrible evil thing and like selling your children into slavery!

I find this particularly entertaining, since the only thing I know about Diana Gabaldon is that she based one of her characters on Jamie from Doctor Who.

Of all the links floating round on Fandom Wank this here is one of the better rebuttals.

And now I shall leave the intelligent arguments to people who are I am sure far more eloquent than me. I'll just stick with pointing and laughing at the stupid and reading fanfic.

Perhaps from this will come a challenge where we write fic and change the names and see if people can guess who they are.

Now I have to get back to writing about Dave, the alien with a time machine, and his girlfriend Lake who is an archaologist from the future with a spoilery diary. Because no one will know who they really are!

Well, apparently the character she based on Jamie in her books is named... Jamie.

Can't even follow her own advice, can she?

Right, my characters just happen to have the same names as characters owned by the BBC, and any similarity is just chance?

Well, she did give him another last name. Just because it so happened to be almost the same as the actor's first name...
