Cabot's Stance on Fanworks Based on Her Work
Cabot, wrote Dragonriders of Pern fanfiction when she was in college. [1]
Cabot, who hosts a writing forum on her site that explicitly includes fanfiction.
In 2003, Cabot wrote:
I'm not going to get all authorish and beg you to please stop writing fan fiction based on my books, because, as a kid, I wrote reams and reams of fan fiction based on Star Wars, most of which I sent to George Lucas (who never thanked me – although I see he didn't use any of it in the next 3 films. He probably should have). I won't even prosecute you (unless you try to make money using my characters without my permission. That is just evil and wrong).[2]
