(from Wikipedia)... In recent years, several prominent authors have given their blessings to fanfiction, notably J.K. Rowling. Rowling said she was "flattered" that people wanted to write their own stories based on her characters.[30] Naomi Novik is another author who is supportive of fan fiction: she is a member of the Organization for Transformative Works and began as a fan fiction writer. Similarly, Stephenie Meyer has put links on her website to fan fiction sites about her characters from the Twilight series.[31] However, Anne Rice has consistently and aggressively prevented fan fiction based on any of her characters (mostly those from her famous Interview with the Vampire and its sequels in The Vampire Chronicles). She, along with Anne McCaffrey and Raymond Feist, have asked to have any fiction related to their series removed from FanFiction.Net.[30] George R.R. Martin, who was selected by Timemagazine as one of the "2011 Time 100" and is most famous for his epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, is also strongly opposed to fan fiction, believing it to be copyright infringement and a bad exercise for aspiring writers.
