CATDOLL: CLAMP issued a statement saying that it welcomes fan creations

Some time ago, "The Heroic Legend of Arslan" announced a ban on BL fan fiction, which caused a lot of heated discussion. Recently, CLAMP, which debuted as a fan club, issued a statement on its website saying that it welcomes any form of fan fiction. The title of this statement is "A Request from CLAMP", which indicates CLAMP's position: "At this stage, we at CLAMP have no intention of changing our minds on secondary creations, COSPLAY, and other issues. We also do not intend to restrict everyone's behavior as before. If everyone can enjoy the fun of CLAMP's works freely, then we will be satisfied." This is indeed a fan, and he still understands that fan products will have a certain promotional effect on the original work. Of course, it is understandable that "The Heroic Legend of Arslan" announced a ban on some fan fiction, after all, every author has his own ideas.

At the same time, the statement also expressed the hope that everyone would not create fan works in the name of CLAMP and upload the works to the Internet. "Please do not upload to social platforms or websites. Of course, we are not seeking any responsibility, but we just hope that everyone can understand our thoughts. In fact, just putting these things in written form on the official website makes us very worried that it will cause those who love CLAMP's works and create works to be hit." CLAMP is just using a very euphemistic tone to remind everyone to pay attention.

CLAMP is a joint pen name used by a well-known Japanese cartoonist group. It is also a cartoon studio composed entirely of female members. They officially debuted in 1989. Their previous representative cartoons include "Tokyo Babylon", "X-War", "Mocha Girl Sakuraka", etc.
