I have a tendency to forget that a lot of people have issues with the legality of fanfic - I was introduced to it when I was about 12, so was a pretty ubiquitous part of my formative years! It probably didn't help that two years of my undergrad were spent looking at how recent issues of things like copyright and 'idea ownership' are, so I feel like it's cemented as absolutely valid to me and I have to remind myself that not everyone agrees.

Multiple translations of works are fascinating, so it'll be interesting to read it, and the criticism that goes alongside it! Another thing to go on my to-read list ...

And hah, that some synchronicity!
