The DragonLady "OMGYOULIKEDMYBOOKSENOUGHTOWRITEFANFICIDIDN'TPERMITONTHEMYOUHOR!!!*KILLS*", Anne McCaffrey herself has relaxed her rules on fanfic a little. Leaving aside the mention of 'registered' fanfic sites, which I find a little disturbing for some reason I can't quite pin down yet, I'm interested in this comment:

"5. Pornographic or “slasher” sites, based on any of my literary works, are expressly forbidden. But I’m sure you know that. I’m a grandmother, after all."

Now - though it's not my point - I'm hurt that she groups porn with slash. Yes, okay, so there is a vast - huge, massive, enormous - group of slash out there that can be labelled 'porn' but there's a *lot* of damn good stuff that's slash and yet wouldn't touch porn with a ten-foot pole. So that's one rant.

But my main confusion - she's written gay couples. Hell, from what I remember - haven't re-read the Pern series for a while, though I read them enough a few years ago - half -or more of - the lower Weyrs are basically gay. So... we're *not* allowed to write fanfic that takes canon fact from her own books, because it's considered slash? I couldn't start a site supporting the pairing of... *struggles to remember the names* (I hate not having my bookcase on hand) P'tero and M'leng (even if I wanted to ^__~)?

Am I missing a point here?!!
