Note to Diana Gabaldon

Ask them what it was like, and then try comparing people borrowing your characters to what they went through. Fanfic writers just *BORROW THINGS*. You should be taking this as a compliment, that people are so enthused with your books that they're imagining things that happened in between scenes, not twisting it into something that's just plain rude and which denigrates the sufferings of real people. Or are you the type who wants to have fictional characters declared to be real people and thus subject to human rights? The problem is, they don't exist, at least not in this universe. If that's the case, then I guess we need to start prosecuting some of the villains. But how do you get the charges to stick to, say, Gendo Ikari in the Evangelion series, since he's definitely facing human rights violations, due to, oh, destroying the entire human population just so he could be reunited with his wife? Have fun trying to get those murder, kidnapping, torture, human organ trafficking and rape charges to stick to Kazutaka Muraki: he's got alibis like Teflon, besides being the grandmaster of the Karma Houdini.
I had half an interest in reading her books, now I have zero interest, and to be honest, if I find one of her books in a jumble shop, I'm inclined to buy it and use it as toilet paper. I was having a crappy day to begin with, and now it's got even worse.
Ryuk, hand me that death note.
