I came across this article in the Literary Review of Canada, examining some of the issues with fan fiction. Haven't had time to do more than skim it yet, but it looked interesting enough that I thought people might be interested...

Very interesting article. I've copied the link for a discussion on the ASOIAF forum: we've had some robust discussions of the topic there in the past, given grrm's views on ASOIAF fanfic. ;)

Link away! It's good fodder for discussion, I think.
