Fanfiction and Transmedia

I have a side interest in transmedia type narratives and one of the "pieces" in the transmedia world is engaging fans and fanfiction sorta falls into that - that said - a couple of interesting articles have been making their rounds - - starting with
www.deusexmachinatio.com/2010/05/fanfiction-threat-or-menace.html
a great article linking fanfiction and transmedia

one side note is many authors/creators are now taking the stance of working with fans, kinda, via "fanfiction is to be licensed as derivative, noncommercial fiction under the Creative Commons umbrella." (from http://www.jim-butcher.com/news/000354.php)

Intteresting development for fanfiction...

but some more info if you want to follow this more and if anyone else has links or resources on this topic, transmedia or just wants to talk about the topics and such - please share.
