Mrs. Lackey has had a fanfiction writer *sue* her for using a story idea of
theirs. (Not that it mattered much...)
You're mixing up two writers. It was Marian Zimmer Bradley who was sued; it's
because of that suit that Lackey has her policy.

IN ANY EVENT, doesn't it seem very excessively stupid that someone would sue
someone else for using their FANFICTION idea? remember exactly how [il]legal
it is to write fanfiction anyway, people.
