I have been in contact with Melindaleo.com and obtained permission but the mobileread site has requested I withdraw them from the site based on their interpretation of the legality of fanfic.

Most of the fan fic sites have authors with different skills and may not be all that technical. In general the html I have found at the sites need some cleaning up for example.

I do think this is an untapped resource of great ebooks. The biggest concern that Melinda had is with regard to the slippery slope of legality. There can be no hint of commercial interest in the fan fic books to avoid legal issues with using characters from commercial books. I do have a book in a couple of formats on my home site and have more that I have not posted.
