"Come here, Ryuuki." Seiran held his hand out, and the command in his voice made Ryuuki's breath catch.

*wry* That is one of the many questions that the Fanlib board has sidestepped and done its best to to answer. Myself, I'm coming more and more to the conclusion that this is a genuine scam with malice aforethought, and that they know perfectly well what they're doing, writing their TOS so stringently and their FAQ so vaguely. As far as I can glean, the permissions of the "partners" are extremely limited in nature, and apply only to specific sponsored contests. Which they would then have the right cherry-pick for the best stories for their own use, without compensation to the fic authors.

And while I can see Simon and Schuster maybe doing that, I have a really hard time imagining DAW being part to such a thing. Which just makes me wonder all the more about how much Fanlib is lying to us all.

I see that their FAQ is still offline for revisions...

Heck, even their screencap pics are a potential copyright problem. Do they have permission from Tolkien's publisher to post LotR fanfic? And permission from the film companies to post the pics? If you're going to boast about your partners giving you permission, then either you have to limit what you do to that very narrow group where you have permission, or you need to acknowledge that the vast majority of what you're posting doesn't have any legal protection or permission whatsoever.

My guess is that it's going to explode big. How much of the resulting debris will be public I couldn't say.

Yeah, I really don't think Tolkein's publisher or estate gave permission for all that fic. Nor Rowling for the Adult HP fic, since she's on record against that.
