So, some authors are what might be politely called "a bit tetchy" about fanfic. Some don't mind, but some positively love the idea.

One such author is Patrick Rothfuss, author of the absolutely magnificent Name of the Wind.

So far, he's only found the one fic about his series. But surely there's more out there? If anyone deserves a cool fandom, it's Rothfuss.

Let's see: pro-fanfic writer, book that isn't hideously expensive, and a story that's interesting all around? Sign me up.

Haha, it's great to see someone so excited.

If he was googling "Yaoi," that's his problem... I don't think that term's grown to mean "slash in general" yet. At least, I hope not. ._.

I've seen it used that way, but the me community frowns on those shenanigans.

In my experience, authors don't mind fanfic per se, but a lot of them learned their lessons from Marion Zimmer Bradley and don't like seeing it, having it sent to them, etc. Disclaimers or not, no one wants a court fight.

girl next door

When I was 12 I had my first sexual experience. At the time, I lived in a little suburb outside of Cleveland and anyway, the girl next door and I were really good friends. Our parents were both gone for the day and she was over playing Transformers with me. So anyway, we kinda got.. Bored I guess? And we started playing truth or dare, which turned into 'you show me yours, I'll show you mine". So anyway there I Was, 12 years old, heart pounding, blood rushing in my ears, and the chick (who was a year older than me actually) takes off her panties and hikes her little skirt up. So What did I do, you ask? I whistled for a cab, and when it came near, the license plate said "fresh" and there were dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought "naw forget it, yo home to bel-air!" I pulled up to the house about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabbie "yo homes smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there. To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air.
