Johnson: agrees, kind of baffled by some famous writers who are on record as being against fanfic, "might as well say I can only get positive reviews," one of fundamental ways that people respond to texts is narrative.
I don't even know what kind of books Ms Johnson writes, but she just gained at least one reader. *makes a note*
I was dubious about this too, as there are a number of Temeraire stories in Yuletide, but it's been pointed out to me that it could've been the fandom that ate fandom and isn't, which is entirely true.
Huh, it's never surprised me that there isn't more Temeraire fic. Fandoms with similar Napoleonic-era military settings like Sharpe or Hornblower don't produce a lot of fic-- too much research. And Temeraire is one step further out, being an alternate history. Plus there's almost no pairings/ships with the kind of potential that appeals to fic writers, at least for the first couple of books.
