I think there's been a lot of Interview with the Vampire fanfic over the years... perhaps Anne Rice drove the authors into hiding? [link]

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Is it fanfic if you go through the book with a red pen?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
No, but it's damn satisfying.

I wonder if it would count under the ADA as a "reasonable accomodation" Seska?

Didn't Zimmer-Bradley have a relatively thriving fic community? Not that I've thought about it since the web took control, but in 'zines, and the like.
Yes, until, IIRC, some fic writer tried to sue claiming MZB had lifted plot from one of her fics. @@.

relatively thriving fic community?
I ... guess? I know there was one, of course, but I guess I don't know how big a relatively thriving zine community would be. It just seems like it would necessarily be orders of magnitude smaller than the internet-based communities I'm familiar with.
Of course I could be wrong.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
MZB had one of those published shared universe constructs. I don't know if it thrives now, but it was probably one of the first communities I was aware of, and I wasn't paying much attention. Certainly the first book-based one.

Yeah, she encouraged people to write in the Darkover universe, a couple of collections got published.

Didn't she run a sort of sci-fi/fantasy writer commune back in the 70s and 80s?
