merrilyDiana Gabaldon is mad as hell about fan-fic (her hyphen, not mine) and isn't going to take it anymore.
Which is lovely, because Fandom_Wank has covered it, and the resulting comments are the best thing I've read in weeks.
I don't necessarily recommend reading Gabaldon's blog entry, and I certainly don't recommend replying to her, but I absolutely suggest you go over to Fandom_Wank, preferably with a bowl of popcorn.
The Drama Button. Push iiiiiiit.

I'm canny that way.
