Quote

Neil Gaiman on fanfiction:
As a fledgling writer, I really wouldn't spend too much time worrying that people will write fan fiction with your characters in. If they ever do, take it as a sign that you probably did something right and made some characters that people liked and believed in and wanted to write about. Or wanted to imagine in the nude. Or something.

From the same entry:
(I'm sure there are people out there writing Harry Potter fan fiction that isn't x-rated)

I adore that guy to itty-bitty pieces.
