Eliza Diawna Snape is a member of the Harry Potter fan fiction community.
[edit] Timeline
- Eliza Diawna was a Harry Potter fan. Eliza Diawna's "Snape stories were all the rage" [1] around 2000.
- December 2000 ended with Cassandra Claire implying on HP_FanFiction that her story might become a slash story. [2] The following extract gives that clue:
- * Cassie ponders about where to fit a / into DS.* My favorite pairing
- after Harry/Draco (which I really can't make work) is Remus/Sirius,
- and Sirius needs to marry Narcissa so H&D can stay related, and
- anyway, Remus has been turned, possibly permanently, into a big wolf.
- That leaves Ron, I guess, available for.....um.....well, we'll see.
- grins* The Ron/Draco knife-throwing scene I believe started out as a
- response to the Teenage Witches who asked for a scene with Ron and
- Draco where Draco starts taking off his clothes. They tend to ask for
- peculiar things, but then they are peculiar people. ;)[3]
Eliza Diawna Snape responded to this. Eliza Diawna Snape was a well known slash hating Harry Potter fan and was a popular writer. She was also a fan of Cassandra Claire. She expressed some concern over Cassandra Claire's e-mail as she wanted Cassandra Claire not to go the slashy route and claimed she would be offended by this. [4] Heidi would eventually respond to this note. [5][6]
- During January 2001, fan of Cassandra Claire wrote an unauthorized sequel to Cassandra Claire and Eliza Diawna Snape's stories. Neither Cassandra Claire, nor Eliza Diawna Snape were particularly pleased that a fan had done this. Various parties wanted the stories reported to FanFiction.Net so that they would be removed. As these stories were derivative, fan fic of fan fiction, and were not plagiarism, that seemed a bit tricky to do. Heidi stepped in to offer her legal advice on the situation on a post to HP_Fanfiction dated January 3, 2001. [7] Heidi starts off the post acknowledging that fan fiction is a violation of copyright and trademark because of its derivative nature. In regards to the issue of people writing fan fiction based on fan fiction, it might "sound weirdly hypocritical" [8] but that Cassandra Claire could conceivably go after the fan fiction author for violating Cassandra Claire's "common law trademark use of her name, the same way someone who went around calling himself STEVEN KlNG would be infringing on the horror writer's mark." [9] Heidi wanted to see if Xing Li might be compelled to remove the story though she thought he would not do anything about the name issue.
