[stylist] fan fiction was What are you Reading Right Now?

[Tessa]

There was a story a couple months back that someone had written a sequel to 
Catcher, apparently the guy had no clue about copyright. J D Salenger was 
not impressed, not that I blame him.
Which raises the issue of fan fiction, there's an awful lot of it out there, 
some people figure it's okay because at least it has people thinking and 
writing. I don't know, I like to think that my characters are mine, and yet 
a lot of times I get a lot of ideas and character traits from other books.

:I read that book five times, once for the dirty words (when I was a kid), 
once later on, and for three English classes.  I enjoyed the book, what an 
adventure.  I really wanted to know how the main character ended up.
