That is interesting to learn about the authors pretending not to notice about fan fiction. I never heard the term fan fiction till fairly recently (while in Tasmania for my first PhD), but over the years before then I had read a number of stories by other authors set in Kathrine Kurtz's Deryni series in a book she had published, and a number of stories by other authors set in Darkover that MZB had published, so I kinda assumed that there was some sort of method for fans to write stories set in other people's worlds that could, sometimes, be judged good enough for the world's founding author to deem worthy of sharing with their other fans.
