I may have lost you but how is the imaginary SH story any different because VW wrote it? It's the same case to me as Judy writing only for Sue about ST. (Though we could discuss how literary fandoms do or do not connect to media fandom :)
I didn't follow the debate about R&S and Wicked closely, but to me they're all professional derivative fiction and thus not FIF by definition.
It gets bit harder if we have fans in fandom writing professional derivative fiction. I think the most difficult boundaries are between tie ins and fanfic by same writer and original slash and professional gay erotica...as I sais, i think in the former we can still find an audience differnce...the latter? *handsup*
