So....can you only write fic about the sponsors' shows? Won't they be upset if you write about a competitor's show? Wouldn't it be *copyright infringement* to write about a non-sponsor's show since the sponsor could make money from advertisement? What if they don't like what you write about *their* show? I can understand Showtime not minding the gay porn, but the rest of them? And um... what about RPS? And will they track the writers back to their personal web pages and journals and try to slap them for writing fic on a private site? Oy. And more OY.
