Mine certainly do, but I'd never even consider it proto-fannish; they just play!
Exactly. But since I'm now a fan, and can see the ways in which it can be seen as proto-fannish behavior, so it sort of retroactively gets written into the fannish framework--which is akin to how I see drawerfic by people who later join fandom.
Still happy with the FIF definition here :)
But I think that whether a fic is FIF or not is one of the considerations (one of the central considerations?) involved in my intuitive notion of whether something is fanfic or not. Looking at language use, like a good Wittgensteinian, I'm more likely to call a problematic case (like my yuletide story) "fanfic" if it was written within the community.
