Hey, remember that time Diana Gabaldon (author of the Outlander series) claimed fanfiction is illegal?

It made me so mad and upset at the time that it turned me off her series altogether.

For the record:

Fanfiction is actually a legally protected art form that's as old as fiction itself.

The way it works is that writers take aspects of a story or universe and then tweak it to explore how those changes would affect the plot and/or characters.

This process of storytelling is so common and so old that it's basically how fairytales survive for thousands of years; the versions you know are basically fanfics of older versions.

She was on record, often and loudly, as one of the staunchest anti fic authors, right up there with Anne Rice — until one of my friends called her on her fic stance on Twitter back in… I think 2019? And DG completely shifted on a dime, said she isn’t opposed to it. Friend pointed out it even still says she opposes it ON HER WEBSITE. DG said oh… well, that needs to be updated.

Jaws hit the floor. Not sure what inspired the change of heart, but she’s laid off coming after fic writers ever since. 🤷‍♀️

(Of course that means she could absolutely flip again and go back to saying it’s immoral/illegal — both incorrect, see transformative works laws — but that’s neither here nor there lol)

Happy #Wednesday100! Have a comedic family dinner scene, where the humor slightly depends on the book canon detail that Claire’s Gaelic comprehension is pretty good. Set post-finale and everyone’s fine.

Meals and Memories

Lately, her parents are playful, even at dinner. Mama’s eating one-handed, resting the other in Da’s. He fusses in Gaelic, which Claire pretends not to understand.

Only Jem is certain to remember Claire with brown curls. But all the kids have a chance at seeing their grandparents like this: Mama sliding into Da’s lap, all innocence as she sneaks a bite of his dessert.

“Now who’s not sensible? You’ve just let your guard down.”

“Seems your ear for the Gaidhlig’s recovered nicely, Sassenach.”

“You’re both ridiculous,” Brianna says, joining the teasing. Their answering laughter is its own kind of magic.

Wednesday 100: Miniatures

What entertainment could a child possibly find amongst Claire's instruments and remedies, Jamie wonders as he walks toward the surgery to fetch his granddaughter for dinner. Mandy is full of fire and curiosity, too — a small Claire, heart beating bold and easy now; despite their rules, he might easily find his wife's things shattered or misplaced.

But Mandy isn't running wild when he arrives, instead bent over the cot where she's tucked one of her dolls.

"Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ," she scolds. "You didn't take your tonic, and now look what's happened!"

Standing in the doorway, he grins. Small Claire, indeed.

The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.

Did you know that Sam Heughan’s original inspiration for Claire while preparing for his role in Outlander came from a portrait in our own collection? When Sam first read Cross Stitch, he used a postcard of Lady Agnew, as a bookmark after visiting the National gallery in Edinburgh. Struck by the portrait’s resemblance to Claire, it became his visual inspiration for the character. You can see Gertrude Vernon, Lady Agnew of Lochnaw (1892) for yourself, free to visit at the National, and even pick up your own copy of the book Sam is holding. Sam recently joined Chair of the Board Catherine Muirden for a conversation about the importance of art, wellbeing, and his childhood visits to the galleries. Filmed by @sandybcameraEditado · 3 h
