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.

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...
