OTW Membership Drive

The Organization for Transformative Works is having their membership drive from now until October 16th. Either renew or make new your membership–minimum donation $10 and you get to post a pretty little badge on your website. How bad is that, amirite?

I’m a firm believer in the ideals of the OTW. A lot of big time writers and movie producers turn their noses up at the idea of their fans using their worlds, but it’s not like they’re making any money at it. Believe me.

If someone loves your world(s) and ideas so much that they want to continue the story where you left off, or even go back and rework a scene or two, what’s the big deal? Plus, I think anyone should be flattered that someone loves their writing/TV show/movie so much that they want to play around in the world you create. Why? Because not only is it incredibly ego-stroking, but it’s like free advertising.

Personally, I’ve been scouring the Internet for some fanfic of my work. It’s not like I’m giving up my copyright or anything and as long as the content is original and the fanficcer isn’t making a profit… what’s the dealio? Still, 🙁 Nobody loves me though. No fanfic for me.

Still, here’s their link OTW logo: red circle with an arrow. Text reads: Organization for Transformative Works Membership Drive October 9-16, 2011
