actually, this distinguishes a *third* category, IE, fannish fiction, fiction *about* fandom.

but if you go back and read anything fannish from before 1970 or so, it's just really clear that people mostly use 'fan fiction' to refer to original fiction published in fanzines, and that fiction based on established media properties really wasn't a common thing at all.

Huh, interesting. I was wondering where the "fan" came in, since with fanfic as a transformative work, "fan" signals the author is a fan of the established media they are writing about. I didn't think about how if you are an SF&F fan in general, you are definitely a fan and part of fandom, and if you write an original story and put it in a fanzine rather than getting it accepted by a magazine or publishing house, then I see how what you have is "fanfiction." I guess I was also thinking about amateur/self-published writing in general, not specifically SF&F, and didn't think it was likely that "fanfiction" was the term for all such writing (and that does not appear to be the case).
