Kinda sound like they're making fun of fanfic. :(

[morgandawn]

I doubt that. But I suspect some of the fanfic written by the writers may be humorous (there is a lot of humor to be found in The Watchmen). I wonder which six fanfic writers are participating? (besides NN).

As a side note, many people still think that any and all fanfic is a mockery and an injury of the source. But luckily that attitude is waning.

Yeah, that's just a really unfortunate poster then-- as if fanfic "ruins" and "destroys" Watchmen.
