Hey so since it's come up more than once now, here's my official stance on printing and binding any of my fics:
- If you are binding the fic for book binding practice, shits and giggles, to give as a gift to a friend or two, or to have for yourself, that's fine.
- If you are making profit off the bound fic in any way, shape, or form, including taking commission to bind it for someone else, selling the bound version, mass producing the bound fic, reselling a bound fic you received as a gift, or any variation of that, I do not consent to it. At all.
If at any point I learn, see, or discover that profit has been made by selling or binding one of my fics, I will immediately delete that fic. Full stop and with no hesitation. I am very serious about this. I'm not fucking around with getting sued or any kind of legal ramifications because you wanted to make a buck off words you didn't write using characters I did not create.
Don't be the person who ruins fanfic for the rest of us, report it immediately when you see any kind of fic being bought or sold, and shame anyone you see participating in profiting off fanfiction. We already exist in a legal gray area. Don't be the tipping point into the illegal category.
Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.
