I read that Amazon is going to start selling specially licenced fan fiction from Vampire Diaries. There is a huge list of restrictions, but from what I understand this is going to be real fan fic, written by fans, not the typical media tie ins.
I find this really interesting, but the real question is if they'll allow slash, which is one of the biggest segments of fan fic.
I'm guessing this is all spinning out of 50 Shades of Grey starting life as a Twilight fan fic.
