@Redcard, I don't know enough about fanfiction sites to be sure, but based on a cursory inspection of fanfiction.net, I think you could write a script to do this, then feed the results through something like FeedBooks.

@HarryT, some fanfiction is illegal, and some isn't. When I just looked at fanfiction.net, I saw fanfiction based on the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. I have a hard time imagining his estate coming after fanfiction authors (though after the debacle involving The Wind Done Gone, I guess I shouldn't be surprised at anything).

Even regarding contemporary authors and works, there are quite a few authors who have specifically or tacitly authorized non-commercial fanfiction, or even commercial fanfiction in the case of Roger Zelazny and the works published in Amberzine. This isn't nearly as consistent an issue as piracy of original works, and I don't think it should be covered under the MobileRead piracy policy.
