Oh no. Oh no no no no no.

The New York Times, the world's paper of record, dedicated a whole report to omegaverse fanfiction. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/23/business/omegaverse-erotica-copyright.html

Deeply concerned for 70 year old New York Times readers who are learning about mpreg today.

Oh no, they used Supernatural as an example!!! Supernatural boasts a massive fanfic and stan community in general, so it makes sense to incorporate into reporting, but now we're introducing people to Wincest. The New York Times readers are not prepared.

DMCA takedowns over original work that's just recontexualized fanfic continues to send me. Most of the fanfic-inspired works that end up on Amazon (and make a good deal of money) are just fanfic based on existing IP with names/locations/settings changed.
