Fanfic Printing
Mar. 7th, 2009 01:27 pmHas anyone ever printed fanfic out in a form slightly more polished than feeding pages through your printer?
I've seen a couple of sites that are the "print and sell your novels" kind of deals. Even CafePress has something. But that makes me a bit twitchy since I don't want to sell fanfic (hello, legal nightmare), I just want to be able to kick back with something on print instead of squinting at a monitor. I just want to be able to print one copy and that's it. Something for my own personal use.
Obviously the gov't isn't going to go busting down doors for printing stuff out on your home computer, but one of these printing sites seems more...professional? Is it okay if you only buy a copy for yourself? Or are you going to get smacked down for selling something like this - regardless of the fact that you sold it to yourself and no one else? (And is it even possible to disable outside sales on these sites?)
I really don't have the first clue as to where the lines are on stuff like this.
