Would they say, "Fanfics make our potential customers happy and make

work is competition!"

I mean REALLY, which do you think they'd do? Hopefully, I'm being an
alarmist. 

If they ARE novels, as in written, rather than graphic, then Mixx will
certainly destroy the SM fanfic base.  They delight in alienating and
destroying fan and customer bases.  It is what makes their lives worthwhile.

MAPPY
