Which is WHY us old people keep begging the younger generations of fans to stop talking to actors and writers and musicians about fanfiction.
It's not because we don't think the hobby is worthwhile, we just don't want them opening their community up to legal action
I am just now learning the original author/copyright holder of the media you want to write a fanfic for can actually sue you ??? I thought fanfics and fanarts are what builds a fandom which helps the og work get more popular, so I’m gen asking why would they be against it ?
