It's not so much affecting people like us who write RP Fanfic but still, it's a weird concept to me lol.

Hm... that is interesting.  It does say it could eventually expand to music, so maybe it could affect us down the road.  I'm not sure how I feel about this... too tired to form thoughts right now LOL.

That'll be highly interesting if it hits music. I don't know how I'd feel about that honestly LOL. I read it this morning so I missed the music part.

That might get me back into writing lol

Not sure how I'd feel about submitting my own stuff, but if others do it, then good luck

Now that I have more time, I read the article again and looked into this a little more.  Here is the Amazon page with all the details: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_375976362_1?ie=UTF8&docId=1001197431&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=16MYZCW2EHK9EJ618XTF&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_p=1558872522&pf_rd_i=1001197421

It'll be interesting to see if this is something that takes off or not.  I wonder how readers of these fandoms feel about possibly having to pay for something they once read for free.  That's one downside of it.  I've definitely read fanfics that are worth paying for, but I also know that if I'd had to pay for BSB fics back in the day, I never would have read any.  Selling your stories exclusively for Kindle is pretty limiting.  I'd rather post them for free on AC as well as my personal site and make them available to anyone who wants to read them for free.

Even if they don't license boybands for authorized fanfic, I guess the way around it is just to do this:

LMFAO

[RokofAges75]
