Poll: Separation of Canon People and FF People

[thefourthvine]

(Note: I'd like to get responses on this from as many different fan writers as possible. Anyone who pimps it will have my eternal gratitude. And if you leave a comment letting me know where you pimped it, you will get my eternal gratitude and an imaginary cookie.)

This poll is for anyone who has ever written fan fiction and in some way shared it - internet, zine, carrier pigeon, coded broadcast to Alpha Centauri, whatever.

So. If someone connected with the canon found and read your fan fiction, how would you react? For the purposes of this poll, I would like you all to imagine that we live in a world where there are no possible legal consequences. In other words, your weird new readers can hate you, but they can't take you to court or send a C&D.

Actually, I never published any of the John/John I was working on, but that's not because I was ashamed of, heh, hijacking their bodies, it's because (and I think the poll numbers bear out that I'm not the only one who has more shame re: grammar than sex) if they *did* find it, I'd want them to be totally blown away by what a wonderful author I am and immediately ask me to be a speechwriter, and I just didn't think any of it was good enough.

And dude - the Great Wonkette Panic - can you do links, or at least a better date? I'm not really in the organized polislash fandom anymore. I tried using Wonkette's search but was getting nothing (I can't believe that a search for 'sex' on Wonkette got me zero results.)

I haven't done my good deed for the day, so I went and hunted it for you: February 17th (http://community.livejournal.com/tds_rps/2005/02/17/). :D You'll have to join the community to see most of the posts. Or just read the f_w report (http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/634351.html). Oh, it was beautiful.

Whee! Thank you! That is beautiful! Almost as beautiful as Stephen Colbert himself!

(links to individual posts on Wonkette don't seem to work on my browser. Hmmph. Very odd.)
