Something sad in my book...

You know, I'm the last person who should be judging anyone, but this evening I seen something sad, in my book at least.

I was surfing through the net and came onto some sites I have seen in the past, but I don't hang out at. One was for one of my favorite sci-fi show (I'll leave nameless to avoid finger pointing) I use to watch when I was in school and a whole lot younger.

This site was set up by a true fan (I'm not denying that), but what I seen kind of made me...sad, I think is the word. This fan has over 20 short stories (of which they wrote) about this series. Ok now...I'm a fan and I have done fanfic, but I think it made me sad because...well it's kind of a waste. 20 short stories??? Not to mention, this series is STILL under copyright.

An editor told me once..."You can teach the technique, but not the idea." So I ask...where does it leave this writer?

Just my thought for now..................
