Anne McCaffrey - Pern - has given the nod to fanfics provided that they do
not make use of her main characters as main characters.  And there is a
*strictly* enforced 'no profit' directive on those stories.

Hmmmm.... Interesting. She relaxed her stance about fanfiction some since I
visited her page last june. At that time (or shortly before) this
particular author had stated explicitely that there was to be no
fanfiction. Mainly because there was some negoetiations underway with
Spielberg to do a move based on her Pern Series. Wonder if things fell
through.
