And fan writers too write drafts and rewrites, and have beta readers who offer advice on the grammar, style, consistency and everything else they feel would help the fan writer remain in character as much as possible. I don't see how those writers and their support structure (let's add fanartists there as well, for those writers who include covers with their work) are different from tie-in writers. (Which reminds me, I have a Big Bang notice to send out soon.)
So, let's just say that fan fiction is different, done for a different purpose and audience, and just as valid as other types of writing. Can we agree on that?
