Jan. 2nd, 2006 01:41 amI just realised a thing.
Someone wrote a thing about someone wanting to use one of their RPG characters in a story, and they were offended, even though they fanfic. It felt different.
So I was thinking about that. ( Read more... )
Using other people's RPG characters without permission, or mangling them even with permission, might be... artistically valid, but will have consequences in the impact on the writer's relationship with the originator of the characters. Usually I'd say it is likely more trouble than it is worth.
In fanfic, we lack relationship with originator anyways, so *shrugs*
But it is much more fun when they actually tell us to go write fanfic. blessing of Joss, PTB of the Buffyverse! yaays!
