Annie Proulx's still pissed...
Katie77:
I dont read a lot of fan fiction, but with those that I have read, and if the names of the characters are Ennis and Jack, I have put the face of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal to those characters....definately not the faces described in the book.........Heath and Jakes face did not belong to her.
The stories re-written.....does she think for one minute that her characters are the only ones who have ever gone through what they did, or that stories along the same lines can end differently. Does she hold the copyright or the "ownership" on all cowboys,or all gay men who fall in love.....no she doesn't.
I dont know what those writers think Annie will do with their fan fiction if they send it to her. What could she possibly do with it. And that part of the interview I guess, I can agree with her feelings about that. No doubt, others involved in the film get the same fan fiction sent to them, but they obviously follow the road of common sense and throw it away without talking about it.
If people want to write fan fiction, then that is their perogative. If we wish to read it, we have that same perogative.

Those lawyers at Simon and Schuster might have something to say about that. Proulx is not as vigilant as some on protecting what is her intellectual property, when you get right down to it. Anyone writing fanfiction is assuming a level of risk, it goes with the terrtory. If your going to do 120 on the Interstate in the middle of BF Utah and a state trooper radars you out of nowhere, its pretty Damn dumb to argue with him over the ticket.

Dont tell me you never heard that exprerssion "B*F* Egypt" or just "BFE" or "B*F* [your little town name here]" to describe a place that is the ass-end of nowhere.

Oh, yeah (except for the "Egypt" part; that's new to me). Just making sure I understood you. I'm not used to people being so discreet as to just abbreviate it. ;D
I guess East Butt-Fuck, or East Bumfuck, which I've also heard, must be east of the ass-end of nowhere. ;D
