And now I am off to driving in traffic to meet book group to talk about my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave: Catch-22, which is not fic. That I know of.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

If they're fic, they can't be canon, right? So yeah, I vote we count them as unfuckingbelievably bad fanfic.
That just seems right, doesn't it?

there was also "The Wind Done Gone" from the POV of the slaves/freed slaves, right?
That was ruled to be satire in the copyright case brought by MItchell's heirs.

You know who would know the proper literary term to use? T-Rex. He could illustrate it for us amusingly by conversing with his dinosaur friends, and perhaps a tiny elephant.

Whoa, okay. I just caught up on the whole bandom-adjacent mess that I think Jilli mentioned earlier, and it does not surprise me that band involved was All Time Low. Their fans are craxy to the max.

That's funny -- the only thing I know about that band is they are my coworker's daughter's favorite, and she (coworker) randomly had a drink with the lead singer once when she took her daughter to a show. She didn't know who he was until after.

Um, Jesse, that is pretty weird, because the same thing happened with a coworker of mine and her daughter. Perhaps the ATL guy makes a practice of drinking with moms?

Well, she said the bar was pretty empty, due to the show being all kids! And there's not really any reason for the lead singer to be at the bar, so maybe he really does?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"Published" "fic" is something more like an homage or an "in the style of" or a licensing arrangement. "Fan Fiction" is more like something written by fans to amuse themselves and their friends.
What about unpublished fic that writers would like to get remunerated for writing? Is it fic while unpublished? How do we know what it is by looking at it on fanfiction.net or AO3?
