Parodies a public domain work, inspired by a free fanfic, and locked behind a paywall.
Am I the only one who thinks that that's just wrong?
The only one? No. But you're not in a majority, either. What people can be paid to do, they are more likely to do.
Hmm, hadn't thought of the arrow of causality pointing that way.
Of course, if the prospect of making money significantly pushed up the probability of him writing it, then I can't complain... I'd rather have it exist behind a paywall than not exist at all.
But I'll have to question if the antecedent is really true. Is the money really more motivating than the prestige of having written an awesome work?
Do you consider selling written works in general to be just wrong?
