Yeah, it's very much along the same lines, with bonus comparisons of fic writing to various sorts of violent crime. Fandom Wank has most of the relevant details, if you're interested, and a few screencaps.

I love [livejournal.com profile] bookshop's response, especially her near-comprehensive list of derivative works. This has been going on for a very, very long time. Have you ever read "The Democratic Genre" by Pough? (I might not have that name spelled right.) It's a book that looks at fanfiction/derivative fiction from a literary perspective, and it's really thought provoking. I've been meaning to re-read it and do a write up for awhile now; maybe this is a good opportunity.
