To Write Dominion "Derived Fiction" and not Fanfiction

[Burnsaber]

Just for starters, I'd like to state that I don't really know anything about fanfiction, just their reputation and the basic premise behind them. So I just might be a bit off the point here. But anyways..

A lot depends on what "fanfiction" actually means in this instance. It's pretty certain that one just can't write some basic Harry Potter fiction. Because, just like it has been said, dom3-verse lacks strong characters. Sure, there are Bogus and the named national heroes, but they just aren't that developed, having only their description (which is just 999 charaters long, at max).

What I think Raven means here are more like stories in dom3-verse. And we certainly have those, currently. Think of the "Chronicles" game and the stories written by the players in that game (could someone supply a link to those, my forum search failed horribly). There are many AAR's that are written in-character. Heck, there are some stories being written right now for the "Sign of the Hammer" game thread. In some sense, these could be classified as "fanfiction", just written by the premise of the events in the game in question.
