fan fiction for sale on KINDLE?

[DrLeftover]

Amazon has announced that fan fiction authors will be able to sell some of their work on the firm's Kindle e-book platform.

Fan fiction is literature inspired by popular books, films and TV shows, written by enthusiasts. Publication outside of blogs and online fanzines is often difficult because of copyright issues.

A deal with a TV division of Warner Brothers enables fan fiction based on three TV series to be self-published. They are Gossip Girls, The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars.

Authors will be able to upload their writing for sale via a new platform called Kindle Worlds.
