Sense and sensibility (but no Austen)

[graycardinal]

In the wake of several pro authors' posts over the last couple of months in which said authors are mystified and/or badly confused by the fanfic itch, we've now got a post from a pro author who has brought immense amounts of common sense to the table.

Jim Hines displays much wisdom, in this matter and in many others.   And he writes good books, too.
