So Ali hazelwood should pay George Lucas for the love hypothesis?

Disagree. Work of art inspired by fan fiction that easily stands on its own. Mortal instruments is nothing like Harry Potter. Alchemised truly is entirely new. It’s not similar to hp

Senlinyu is a talented enough writer to practically build an entire world that completely separates itself from HP in Alchemised in my opinion

Are you gonna give the Tolkien estate compensation for Realm Breaker?

I don't agree, and perhaps your feelings come from what has happened with the Powerless series (understandably so). I think if I wrote a popular book, someone wrote a fanfiction based in the world and then they went and and recrafted their own writing, into a new world of their own, I'd be rooting for them. I wouldn't want compensation. If I've inspired someone to pursue their own passion then that honestly enough. But I appreciate not everyone feels this way, but I don't know what everyone is so afraid off.

And yet powerless is a rip off of your work😭

I very much disagree. The line is functionally non-existent for me between fanfiction and simply gathering inspiration the way artists always have. Characters have been "stolen" and reworked for centuries. Did Madeleine Miller need permission from Homer to write Circe? Did Milton need permission to write Paradise Lost? We're just seeing the process more now that AO3 exists.

First time I disagree with you on something. Most of the FFs I’ve read who got published were already so far removed from the original content. This is not like you do your own Star Wars Merch and have to pay royalties.

I fear people in the comments don’t understand the difference between being inspired by someone’s work and using someone else’s work to build a story off of.

@arielle: What?! Girlie. Everything is derived from somewhere or something else, you just usually don’t see the direct inspiration but literary theory and practice shows that no work exists in a vacuum. Did you credit, compensate, and get consent from Suzanne Collins when you wrote the Red Queen series? Or literally any other ya dystopian author that came before you? You reworked tropes that have been used both in and out of that genre for YEARS AND YEARS before you were a published author. You’ve claimed you found inspiration from Game of Thrones and t genetic mutation to all over comics. Did you compensate credit or get content? These “reskinned fics” no longer have anyone else’s IP. They only leave their own original IP. So what, exactly, is the difference other than you see the process clearly and the publishing industry is finally paying attention??

If you can go in blind and read a book like Alchemised for example, not knowing its origins and not being able to link it back to hp for example, there’s no reason compensation needs to happen. They worked hard to rework that and make it original

Since you did get your start in fan fiction I am curious if you did the three c’s back then? Or is this more of a nuanced view now due to booktok blowing up books these days. This is a genuine question as a newer fan (waiting for war storm from Libby and absolutely love the series)

I think almost everyone is missing the point. The biggest argument seems to be “if the story can stand on its own” but the problem is is that it didn’t from the very beginning. I’ll use Sen as an example since that’s what everyone’s thinking. If Manacled has never been written and she published Alchemised, half of y’all wouldn’t have read it. An already established fan base picked up a RETELLING of fleshed out characters and dynamics, and no matter how much you rewrite that, that is still in the very bones of the story. Alchemised exists because it was written on the backs of formerly established characters/relationships/fandom. And there is zero credit now to the original creator except to use OG characters as a marketing tactic. Personally, I could not care less if Rowling gets credit for anything for the rest of her life, however this is a very fine line to walk as authors. And if you flip it and look at it as if YOU are the original author, you may feel differently. I see both sides of it. But then I don’t see why we’re not selling fanfiction anyway. If a fanfiction is popular, the original author and publisher (if looking for monetary value) could publish and market it as a fanfiction of ____ written by _____ and split profits.

Where is the line? If we're talking Alchemised, for instance, the bones of the original story are there but it's very far removed from the HP realm - is credit still due? Would authors be able to point fingers & claim someone's new work is definitely reworked fanfiction, so they deserve a cut? Can someone like SenLinYu or Olivie Blake never use their pen name because it's associated with some ao3 work? I can understand the sensitivity, especially from an author. But as an author, I'm sure you're encouraged to be active online to build your audience - can we truly police where those online spaces exist? Should they be punished for that indefinitely? If they use a FMC in the future with curly hair, will it always be associated with HP?

Ryan Rhodes :
But at this point in human history…. Isn’t all work kinda derivative or inspired? Nothing is super original anymore. Twilight to 50 shades. Or any stories pulling inspiration from the “classics”, etc. (I’m not super invested personally so I respect those directly impacted though)

Erin :
But the thing is, the material is so far removed from the original source that it’s an entirely new thing. Plenty of stories have been inspiration for other stories, so why is this suddenly an issue now?

syaobao08012000 :
if a fanfiction is later traditionally published, i believe the story should be able to stand on its own as an original work of the author. the fanfiction version, however, is often inspired by someone else’s story or life. that’s why i understand why credit, consent, and even compensation can be reasonable in some cases. but aren’t all stories inspired by something? nothing is truly original if you think about it. art is always born out of inspiration—often from other art.

Do you think the same of retellings?

katelyn :
Totally disagree. Copyright laws are already in place for this exact reason. This would completely rework derivatives and stifle people from actually creating works. Every piece of fiction is based off of something else, no one has completely new ideas. We have infringement laws already in place to prevent what you’re speaking of. The framework is already there to protect “poorly refurbished works.”

Renan Almeida :
as someone who HATES FANFICTION: disagree. with every aspect tbh. I will not TOUCH Alchemised but I do not think it should credit or get consent when at the end, when traditionally published, its so far removed from the IP that they are two separate things.

If manacled had never been fan fiction first, we would never have known that Alchemised derived from it.

Pretty basic copyright law would say no to this. No content should be or is legally judged by its origin or inspirations. They’re all judged by the end product. “How much of the original made it through those reskinnings to the end product” NOT “if you originally conceived this as a ff of the original then the end product is irrelevant”. And most of the ffs making it to publication are perfectly in the clear imo; some aren’t but most are. Even a basic familiarity with ff would show that the vast majority of ffs, including the ones being reskinned for original publication, do not steal or copy large chunks of the original work. The ones that do are usually “written” by people just starting out or literal children. A lot of the ffs being published are already pretty far removed from the original work even before reskinning and are unrecognizable at the end. (If the Bucky Barnes evil!1800s!cowboy fanfic that just popped up on my tumblr dash this morning gets reskinned and published one day are you telling me that they have to pay royalties to Disney when even the fanfic itself only shares a character name with marvel? Surely not that would be ridiculous.) To use a more real world example, does anyone honestly think that Disney is owed royalties for Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood? Yes you can see that it’s ff and the art may give it away, but in regards to the content the setting is wildly removed from Star Wars, there’s no mention of Star Wars or anything related to it. The bare bones of appearances may be the same but Rey is hardly the sunshine Olive was and Kylo wasn’t an Adam. Does Ali owe Disney credit and royalties? When people unfamiliar/only passingly familiar with the sequels (my friends serving as proof of concept on this) don’t even realize they’re fanfic?

Aysa 😬 :
I mean if we use this logoc so many classical canon books we read today can technically be called fanfiction. The Divine Comedy is basically self-insert fanfiction from the 14th century. following the logic that a story after being reworked from Manacled to Alchemised is loosely connected to HP, Ulysses by James Joyce would be a fanfiction of the Odyssey by Homer. Authors derive inspiration from eachother and have even copied eachother for centuries. Paradise Lost is Miltons fanfiction of the bible, and the Marriage of Heaven and Hell is William Blakes take on Milton, another fanfic. The lines to draw about consent/compensation cant really rationally establish an absolute basis for the practice.

Alex ⚔️🦋📖 :
Considering what has happened to you, I understand your stance. However, fanfiction has basically existed for hundreds of years, and people take inspiration from so many things when they are writing their “original works“. Are they crediting bands and songs and movies and TV shows as a co-author and paying them? I have yet to see that.

Time to roll the dice :
Genuine question: did you go through these steps before publishing Realm Breaker? You mentioned that it was a fanfic based on LOTR
