Perhaps as a wannabe author you should heed his warning and not get
trapped writing fan fiction
for someone else's worlds. I dont think the attack was aimed at
authors but more at the companies
that keep pushing out garbage novels with game logos tacked to the
front.
A great deal of game related fiction is way off standard IMHO. The
merchadising realities are
obvious, but I think FASA should stear clear of this. Not every game
has a watchdog group like us after all :)
