:::So Pioneer effectively (from what Airey says stole her fanfic and published it, kinda odd that if they stole it they still attributed her), did she ever receive anything for the book/fanfic/use of her name?--[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 15:55, 8 May 2009 (UTC) | :::So Pioneer effectively (from what Airey says stole her fanfic and published it, kinda odd that if they stole it they still attributed her), did she ever receive anything for the book/fanfic/use of her name?--[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 15:55, 8 May 2009 (UTC) | ||
::::In a word, no. Here is a contemporary quote from an [http://textfiles.com/messages/docwho.eko an archive of what was likely one of the original DW message boards]: | |||

In a message in the WHO echo, Noel "Mick" Spencer gave out this on how to attain a copy of the cross-over story about Doctor Who and the Enterprise. | |||
"When I asked Jean for a copy of her book a few months ago, she gladly | |||
supplied it and also included a note which stated:" | |||
<BEGIN QUOTE> To whom it may concern; | |||
At the present time there appears to be a copy of my story "The Doctor and The Enterprise," | |||
being sold as a mass market commercial edition by Pioneer Books, Inc. 5715 N. Balsam Rd.Las Vegas, NV 89130 for $9.95 (C$13.95). | |||
This publication is completely without my approval or consent. I have no contract with this publisher; | |||
I am not getting a penny from them for this publication; | |||
I have not even recieved a copy of the publication. | |||
Equally, I am sure the same applies to Paramount and the BBC; in whose copyright universes this original adventure takes place. | |||
I consider such behavior to be a "rip-off" of Paramount, the BBC, fans who might pay such an outrageous price for the book, and myself as its author. | |||
I am asking anyone reading this notice not to buy this edition -- | |||
please. If you really want a copy, I'll send you a "free" copy (plain paper copyi1ng) if you will send me a large (9X12) SASEd | |||
with $1.75 in stamps, and marked "first class." | |||
If you want a copy with color pages, at one time Debbie Goldstein, 840 Young's Lane, Nashville, TN 37207 | |||
was making them available (with my permission) for $5 1st class mail. I'm not sure if she still has copies or not. | |||
I would appreciate receiving a copy of any publication printing this notice. | |||
Thanks for your support. | |||

PS, the message with the address was lost (I know...again) sorry. | |||

When you have time, you might want to read all the messages in the thread. It's a fascinating, almost archaeological, look at how DW fandom used to be.
