Freedom of Speech On-line

• As an author of what is known as “fan fiction”, I am naturally very supportive of this form of expression. I began writing fan fiction for Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles over 4 years ago and still have those stories posted in secret as threats of lawsuits have forced myself and other fans underground. I believe wholeheartedly in a person’s right express their love for a particular show, novel, etc. via fan fiction as long as no money is made and a disclaimer is plainly visible. Unfortunately, they call us starving artists for a reason and neither myself nor any others that I know of could survive the possibility to be dragged into a lawsuit. So until then, all we can do is support one another.
