If a person also wants a collection of fanfiction related to some of those books (the Vorkosigan Saga has inspired several excellent novel-length stories), where should those be placed; how can the nav system identify them as related-to-these-other-books?

It's for these reasons that many current reading devices have gone for collections - ie, tags - rather than folders. It makes it much easier to organize your collection by multiple attributes.
