Are you referring to fan fiction? So if you take fan fiction to a book signing, the writing is taken away? If so, I wonder if its done to discourage people from ‘pitching’ to the author?
Exactly, because if for example JK Rowling reads it and uses the idea in her next book she will be sued by that person as they seek to do that. It was Stephen Fry that mentioned it in a interview, as he was curious as to why it was happening at a book signing.
