It is a puzzler. But I commonly run into SF readers of long standing who have never heard of fandom or of fanfiction. It is hard for me to get a sense of how extensive fanfiction readership actually is, but I have always assumed it was huge. That a writer of her popularity could be so clueless about her audience is just weird.

Pir8fancier's post http://pir8fancier.livejournal.com/423186.html?format=light does a good job of explaining the new world that writer's must negotiate in the changing rules of publishing. Some of Gabledon's attitudes are a relic of an older publishing model. I actually like some aspects of the old model for reasons too complex to get into here, but I understand that its days are numbered.

I know you are interested in writing professionally and I encourage you to read the following article, it gives a brief overview of all the crap that is coming down in the publishing industry. Here http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/04/26/100426fa_fact_auletta?currentPage=all
