[FFML] Continue dead or abandon fics by other authors.

[Ignacio Moreno]

Well. I personally would like help with one or two of my fanfics, because I
am a really slow writer.

This way I suppose that I can finish them faster.

Anyway, about the discusión I think that it is easier to contact a fic
author than an original author.
Moreover, if the original author doesn't want that people make fics from
his works, he usually says so.

On the other hand, in a related theme but not exactly the same. What do you
think about people that rescue fics from oblivion to put them in pages as
ff.net? I saw one or two examples where it is clearly stated that it isn't
his fic and that he couldn't contact withbthe original author.
Personally I think that it is a good idea to be able to keep good old fics.

Greetings.

Kinai.
