For me, copyright is a tricksy one... on the one hand I feel uncomfortable charging for something, over and over, for its use, but on the other hand I also need to survive and thrive.

Personally, I'd love to offer my work for free to any one who wants it but can't afford it (and often do — I have a little note on my website suggesting that people may be pleasantly surprised if they just ask rather than steal (which is rude and just pisses me off)) and would do it more if my needs were somehow supported in kind, just not necessarily in a two way exchange but from a wider circle.

And yes, that's ostensibly what money does, but in practice it somehow often limits the flow of generosity instead. And while things like copyright ensure creators receive any incoming benefit for their work, it also limits those who can use their creations/work to people with means — who are too often not the people who need (or, sometimes, deserve) it the most.

Eish, I've gone off on a tangent here and I'm not sure how coherent it is, but nevertheless, this is all to say that I'm very interested to read your ideas and experience expressed through your fic... so: may the words flow wild and free through your mind to your quill. (Well, keyboard, I guess.)
