*looks at all the comments you've gotten*

ah, the new face of fandom.

where it's okay to write fanfiction, scrub the names and publish as new.

good to know.

when I was prolific in fandom, I had a lot of stuff I'd written that I was totally okay with leaving up for free because at the time it was frowned on to scrub and repurpose.

now I know it's totes ok to do a half assed job at changing names and selling it.

that will save me a ton of time.

You're missing the point: it depends how deep the scrub goes.

The difference between 50-shades-the-book and 50-shades-the-fanfiction was a very basic search and replace with the names. The characters are *still* very clearly identifiable.

Now, Lois Macmaster-Bujold on the other hand? Her early books might have a "Star Trek" feeling about them, but it's just a feeling: you can't point a finger and say "Oh, hey, this guy is Captain Kirk. And this guy is clearly Spock!"

THAT is cheating. Because if I wanted to read about Captain Kirk and Spock, I'd go and look for fanfiction.
