Jim's stand on fic?

Hey Hey ease up on the Lawyer bashing :D I come from a family of them you know (and am endeavoring to be one myself).
In the future, please use the qualifier of Corporate Lawyer. Those guys really DO sell their souls (think Wolfram and Hart from Angel)

First time poster, longtime reader (of the books). I haven't found this anywhere, but I was wondering what Jim's stance on fanfic was. Specifically, fanfic in general and fanfic about his own properties.
I'm not a fanfic writer myself, but know some authors (coughRicecough) have a take-no-prisoners view of it while others (she of the vs. Vander Ark) believe the more the merrier.
I didn't know which forum this would go in, so if it's wrong I apologize.

The ultimate answer is, Jim can't know about it. There are sites for it ( (click to show/hide)Edited, sorry-Mickey being one of them), but other than that. Jim don't as, we don't tell

Heh, I just like to rattle their cages about it. In a way, it's not such a bad idea that there's a "don't ask, dont' tell" policy on fics, since it cuts down on the number of badfics that the fandom could get cluttered with Things like "Harry's long lost twin sister who's never mentioned in the books and OMG SHEEZ JSUT AZ POWAHFULL @ MAGICK!!!11", or fics with Justin DuMorne/Morningway molesting Harry as a kid, or Michael being warped into a rabid fanatic who eats babies, or Thomas getting deboched into a weepy emo cutter because aren't all vampires that way? Trust me, I used to hang out on the Godawful Fanfiction Forum and I've seen some pretty sick stuff that the fankiddies cook up...
