Exactly! In my quick read, I noticed that several people were arguing that fan fic is a form of plagerism, and that what she did was just another extension of that. Which is bullshit. I don't see it happening that often in fan fic - and when it does, people come down hard. As they should.

:P Thank you for the compliment! And thank you for making this post. You definitely put this into perspective for me, and it's always good to know someone else shares the same opinion.
