Lee Goldberg is a professional author who is outspoken in his disapproval of fanfiction,[1] calling fanfic writers, among other things, "lazy thieves."[2] He insists that his writing of tie-in novels is very different from fanfiction[3] and that fanfiction is "of course" illegal.[4]
Some fans, when discussing Goldberg, will elide his name, for example as "L** G*ldb*rg." This is to keep Mr. Goldberg, an infamous ego-googler, from finding the discussion and jumping in to flame the participants.
Some fans find him hilarious. Others, not so much.
