Don't Stop Coal Now!

[coalcube]

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real coal time
I feel alive
And the exchange I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in agony
So, (don't stop me now)
(Don't stop me)
'Cause I'm having a coal time, having a coal time~

Subthread OP

Thank you! As an aside, I'm surprised people are still trotting out the old "but if the creator reads your fic then you could sue them" rumor. It's never happened, it's incredibly unlikely to happen, and an author who engages with fic in namespace obviously isn't worried about it. That's their decision to make, not yours as a fic author.

Neil Gaiman just got linked all over Twitter for a Tumblr post repeating that, and brought up Babylon 5 I think.

Every publisher and agent tells screenwriters/novelists and every movie now basically has “this isn’t based on real people and any coincidences to existing stuff isn’t on purpose” but yes, it’s a rumor that both sides are better avoiding eachother. And that’s without touching a lot of East Asian fandoms struggle and need to stay under the radar due to their wild copyright law.

"If the creator reads your fic they could sue" is however something that has really happened, so I don't blame anyone for being chary. (It's happened even with authors who were known as fic-friendly.)
