Well, plus it sounds like it's not that she wrote a story about a high school girl and a vampire and a werewolf...it's seriously AU stuff, which is less of an issue, I'd think. I was a bit amused by the person in the comments being all indignant about her "using" the fanfic community to sell her work or something.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Heck, the Temeraire series basically started as an Aubrey/Maturin AU (although Dana would know better than me).
Yup.
I did not know that! Temeraire was Aubrey, I'd imagine. That reminds me -- I really need to read the last 2 books.
Temeraire was Stephen.
And how much fantasy started out as Lord of the Rings fic? Including one very famous endless series. No not that one. The other one.
Temeraire was Stephen.
But Temeraire is so much more Aubrey-like in personality! Too exuberant and not so much with the caution, etc.
If I recall, the first Vorkosigan book was started as a filed-off-serial numbers Star Trek fic.

Urban legend. LMB has stated repeatedly that this is not so.
Yeah, I didn't notice much Star Trekky in the Vorkosigan books.

Huh. I wonder where I'd heard it from. I do think the first Cordelia book where she meets Aral has some Trek-ish elements. The Miles books, not so much.
