As suggested I started a thread on the copyright aspects of fanfic in eBooks in the Lounge. I'd be interested in finding out more about fanfic as a "transformative work" - got a source? One interesting concept I saw was that fan productions can be described as unauthorised derivative works - it doesn't change their legal status but it gives you a way of relating them to the originals

Cheers

I recommend checking out this site http://transformativeworks.org/ it goes into more detail about fan works and copyright.

And yeah, I started the ebook fan fiction archive back in May so far it's going okay. The hard part is getting permissions and converting the stories to RTF. (RTF is the one universal format that anyone can download and upload to their file converter of choice) The site has a good mix of Ipod, Kindle, Cybook, Ebookwise, and Sony PRS users.
