As a fanfiction writer, I find the entitlement of authors and corporations over work that I created gross. I transformed their work into something else, advertising the original work and making a bigger market for it, and in exchange we get C&Ds and copyright claims. Someone writes a reskin of The Odyssey and then a corporation claims every derivative for 75 years.



I have a lot more sympathy for you than the corporate interests that are currently trying to profit off of your work without your knowledge.
