Funny, coming from someone who did a lot of writing for TV series
A house no one lives shouldn’t represent much value, since it isn’t fulfilling its purpose.
Zaphius please be loud and wrong on Reddit, you’re not wanted here
(‘Housing market’ is on the list of phrases like ‘cost of living’ or ‘borders’ which are weird fictions we’ve collectively decided are normal)
Technically speaking, things should not have a “purpose” in such a fixed sense: I can sell a bottle as something else than a drinking item and it is completely fine. For example, as a piece of decor.
Second, houses can remain uninhabited for a long period of time, just as anything else can remain unused for a period of time. Owner’s rights and all. Most people surely have things they don’t use for a while, should they immediately lose their rights to something the moment they don’t actively use it? It doesn’t make a lot of sense.
But in the end, it will just be an agree to disagree on this bit, I suspect.
I like the snek.
Nick Perumov?
His work should be understood in its proper context, the post-Soviet Tolkien fandom, which was a giant subculture of its own. It still exists, though diminished, a little enclave of the elder days, before darkness grew unchecked.
And he did quickly move on to his own original worlds, his Tolkien fanfiction was basically a stepping stone that let him grow as a writer.
I’d object to profiting from unauthorized Tolkien sequels now, but in the nineties the realities were different.
And even now, I think it’s awesome that there are three different unauthorized Beren and Luthien musicals still performed in Russia. One with horses.
I said: It shouldn’t represent much value.
So no market price increase for properties that have sat empt for extended amounts of time. (Airbnb use doesn’t count as appropriate use for a normal residence, normal residence houses are not hotels or summer homes.)
I didn’t say anything else. Just that.
Yeah yeah agree to disagree.
Firy snek man
very nice
very blorbo
I know of several writers who did just that (minus the monetising your fanfic, that’s very much frowned upon and actively combated in the modern fic writer community, just had an issue with people on tiktok getting into book binding and selling other people’s fics that way… the only thing people accept is people taking writing commissions and ko-fi donations but none of that is allowed to be mentioned on the current biggest fic archive)
If writing fanfaction is what gets an up-and-coming writer into - you know - actually writing something original then what’s the problem?
So long as they’re not trying to monetise the fan fiction itself.
Honestly a lot of the fanfiction I’ve read is pretty much already original, if perhaps using character names or their archetypes for their stories. Some fanfiction get very liberal with the setting they’re given, especially when it’s in an AU setting.
I saw one Stucky fanfic get edited with an announcement and then deleted because the author apparently got a book deal to rewrite the fanfic to be more original and have it released as a book or something. And honestly, the setting itself was already AU enough that it could’ve been any random romance story you see on the TV, not something connected to the MCU.
Not him, I had to look up who it was, but it was not the person you mentioned. Apparently it was an American.
No, i am aware.
I just think stifling people’s creativity by admonishing them for using your characters to write their own stories is crap.
I’d take the approach of; “I’m happy you have found your creativity using my world but please don’t expect me to read it, the almighty need to correct you when you mischaracterise is hella strong. But do carry on with my blessing”
Being a hater in 2024 is a life struggle that deserves payment because my border is constantly being infringed upon by “woke” and “anti-woke”.
You hate WoW Lore because its “Woke”
I hate WoW Lore because Blizzard can’t be even moderately consistent and cohesive
We are not the same.
Time to stop being a hater and start being a lover. Imagine being a MCU consoomer. Your favourite cameo pops up for 5 seconds in your 2 hour long movie of cameos and your entire week is immediately made, the clouds part, and whatnot else.
Ignorance bloomering is bliss.
one of the wildest takes ive ever seen was someone saying that all rpers are just fanfic writers and owe royalties to whoever’s setting their using.
rolls eyes
My OG setting that i put the most work into out of the people involved, is what I built my book world out of.
So who do i owe royalties to? Me?
What do they gain out of the actual destruction, though? Besides a cartoonish belly laugh in the boardroom?
This is art.
And I concur.
Oh wow.
He profited from unauthorized fanfiction and sued the Tolkien estate?
He may be lacking common sense, but I marvel at his sheer chutzpah.
Also seriously, “The Fellowship of the King”? Even by fanfic standards this is unimaginative. It’s like calling a Star Wars fanfic “The Jedi Strike Back”.
Edit: it’s available online for free because it was evidence in the court case. As expected, the writing is absolutely terrible.

That’s really funny, though.
Damn, I ought to see that. Though if something like this gets to call themselves an “author” then good lord, the bar has dropped low.
I actually enjoy reading absolute trash as long as it’s not tedious.
Same with movies.
