This is good…

Apr 22 By Marjorie

So there’s this lady who wrote a Star Wars fanfic novel.  She’s selling it on Amazon.com.  GAH! 

Scalzi says: 

I’ve said before I think fanfic is generally a positive thing for any science fiction universe, but I don’t think being a fan means you suddenly have a license to be stupid. Publishing your fanfic novel and selling it online is just plain stupid, and publishing your fanfic novel and selling it online when you’re theoretically a professional editor is just about as stupid as you can get without actually receiving head trauma from a tauntaun.

Right on.
