Fan-fiction and copyright: Diana's response

Check out Diana Gabaldon's response to some of the MANY comments posted on her blog in the last several days about the issue of fan-fiction in general, and OUTLANDER fan-fiction in particular. (In case you missed the original post, look here for the details.)

I love the idea that Lord John now has a blend of Earl Grey tea named after him. <g> Those of you who've read AN ECHO IN THE BONE may recall a brief reference to a Major General Lord Charles Grey, who is described as a distant relation of Lord John's. This Lord Charles Grey was a real historical figure, and in fact, according to Wikipedia, his son was the Earl Grey for whom the tea is named. <g>
