YES, THEY CAN BE TAUGHT!

An article on fanfiction by someone with an actual brain. Granted, it's the same people who made Hitler man of the year, so maybe we shouldn't be too quick to celebrate... (no, we will never let you live that down).

The topic of paid fanfic is a bit of a wooly definition, as it's the point where fanfic and original work sort of blurs. Is the Aeneid fanfic? How about Hamlet? Personally I think one of the defining traits of fanfic is that you're not being paid for it.

Maybe not those examples. But what about all those Pride and Prejudice books? Or the Sense and Sensibilty and Sea Monsters type books? How, other than pay, are they any different than many online stories? What about Movies in 15 minutes, which has become published book? I, personally, dont think pay makes any difference. I think it's just another aspect of fandom.
