professional fan fiction
This article doesn't really say anything all that interesting or new, but I thought I'd mention it. The "rewriting" of literary classics, like Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea and Tennant's Pemberley. Fan fiction does get a mention towards the end.
Rewriting the classic novels
As well as established authors reimagining classic texts there has been the emergence of fan fiction, where devotees of books create their own take on a story using the same characters and settings.
The internet has fuelled the phenomenon, with websites devoted to fan fiction. 1984, To Kill a Mockingbird and The Lord of the Rings are among the favourites used as inspiration.
As the proverb goes "everyone has a novel in them" - but for some, it may mean borrowing someone else's ideas.
Nice little backhanded dig at the end, there. My reaction: There's To Kill a Mockingbird fan fiction??
