[edit] Cassandra Claire
Roger Zelazny is a professional author that Cassandra Claire allegedly plagiarized in 2001.
September 2001 was a month where Cassandra Claire was continuing to try to negoiate with Pamela Dean to get permission for the plagiarized bits in her story. At this time, Cassandra Claire was not trying to get similar permission from any of the authors she had plagiarized like Roger Zelazny, Terry Pratchett and Tanith Lee. At this point, the only person she was seeking to get permission from was Pamela Dean. On September 3, 2001, Pamela Dean made a comment on Usenet which obliquely referred to the Cassandra Claire incident. The comment was made on rec.arts.sf.composition. [7] It is one of the only public comments that Pamela Dean seems to have made regarding the incident. The tone of the comment seems to suggest permission would not be given. This post coincides with the same time period that Heidi indicates she was in negotiations with Pamela Dean's agent to obtain permission for Cassandra Claire to use the text from The Hidden Land in Draco Sinister. [8] From the Bad_Penny account by Avocado and comments by R.J. Anderson, [9] it appears that the tragic events of September 11, 2001 ended all efforts to reach a conclusion as the parties were distracted by world events. They may have never been picked up again.
[edit] Fanzines
More fandoms were represented in fanzines during the mid 1980s. The following fandoms were represented in fanzines during this period: "ST, SW, Raiders of the Lost Ark, mixed media zines, Battlestar Galactica, S&H, Space: 1999, Dracula, SF, Doctor Who, westerns, The Questor Tapes, B7, Buck Rogers, Hill Street Blues, Darkover, Alias Smith and Jones, A-Team, Airwolf, Captain Scarlet, Dark Shadows, Greatest American Hero, Hardcastle & McCormick, Indiana Jones, Knight Rider, MASH, Magnum PI, Miami Vice, The Professionals, The Phoenix, Rat Patrol, Remington Steele, Riptide, Simon & Simon, Man from UNCLE, Wizards and Warriors, Wild, Wild West, Man from Atlantis, Superman, Sapphire & Steel, Tales of the Gold Monkey, TJ Hooker, Tomorrow People, Blade Runner, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Sherlock Holmes, Japanimation, the Chronicles of Amber, etc.“ (Langley)
During that same period, personal computers, aided by their word processing programs, started to have an impact on the publication of fanzines. They, along with the growth of coping services, led to a growth in the number of fanzines and created a situation where more fen could produce their own, high quality fanzines.
