I want to point out that as far as my personal stance goes, I'm all for fan fiction when it comes to my IP, provided people do me the courtesy of asking permission first. Players regularly email asking if it's ok to write stories based on Achaea and I've never said no. It is, however, certainly my right to say no, and my right to go after someone if he/she haven't obtained permission first (though it's hard to imagine why I would, minus another MUD copying our content).
