Okay so I completely can't do this poll and I will tell you why - it's the building upon previous history.

If I work my way from the top, I put all of them in fanfiction. If I start at the bottom, most of them end up original fic.

I have a problem with this distinction anyway, because of my love of Shakespeare and mythology. Where is the line? Is there a line besides the one dictated by law and traditions?

If people want to participate in fandom and not make us pay, then they can play too.

I mean, where does the line end? I'm kinda leery still about living people but I kinda don't know if that's my only line considering I've been considering writing fannishly about my life.

(but I would love to read all of those examples! I think I recognize quite a few of them! Maybe later we could get the names?)
