odd pondering
Mar. 10th, 2004 04:45 pmQuery for those of you who write/read fanfiction:
Do the "pastiches" of Sherlock Holmes stories written in the early 20th century (by August Derleth and others) count as "fanfiction"? If so, are they one of the earliest examples of such? Or were there authors writing "New Adventures of the Count of Monte Cristo" or such? Or does fanfiction as a definition rest on the ability to self-publish, not for profit but for exchange?
Huh.
