== On fan fiction ==
Lee and Miller strongly oppose [[fan fiction]] written in their universe. "I don’t want 'other people interpreting' our characters. Interpreting our characters is what Steve and I do; it’s our job.  Nobody else is going to get it right. This may sound rude and elitist, but honestly, it’s not easy for us to get it right sometimes, and we’ve been living with these characters... for a very long time... We built our universes, and our characters; they are our intellectual property; and they are not toys lying about some virtual sandbox for other kids to pick up and modify at their whim.  Steve and I do not sanction fanfic written in our universes; any such work that exists, exists without our permission, and certainly without our support."<ref>{{cite web|author=Sharon Lee, Writer |url=http://sharonleewriter.com/2013/10/the-second-answer/ |title=Lee, Sharon.
