wonders
if a fan fiction would be considered 'original fiction' if the writer makes a different storyline to comment the existing one. M48 style?
Schizosena
asks
this of tibbits directly, actually, and would like feedback from all intterested. 
tibbits
thinks
fan fiction is great for writing exercises but there might be trouble at the publication end...
grins and points out the massively syndicated Star Trek, Star Wars, and Stargate book franchises, but means as for a class thing, ATM...
tibbits
says
all those ST, SW, Harry Potter, etc., extraneous garb have to be licensed, approved and bought. IT's a harsh world out there.
nods in understanding, but is curious to know if a short one might be accepted as a final project for a certain someone's class.
tibbits
thinks
sena should talk to her someone about it... 
never knows when to drop by someone's office, and was hoping to have a workshop-able copy before meeting on fri anyway...
