To say I have mixed feelings regarding this development is a huge understatement. I wonder how this will impact fandom. If authors were to double-post here and on the Amazon site, few people would buy their works from Amazon. (Why should they, when they could get them for free here?) I hope we won't see a migration of fanfic authors from here to Amazon. Also, I wonder whether companies which have hitherto turned a blind eye to sites such as this one will start to go after fanfic writers who have posted their stories here and elsewhere (e.g., fanfic.net).
While I would gladly pay to read fanfic written by several of the authors here, I fear that if the authors do decide to sell their works, we may be seeing the end of our "Lois & Clark Fanfic" folder here.
Thanks for letting us know of this development, Lauren.
Joy,
Lynn
