I think I was using Virginia's familiarly literary context to underscore the lack of the context of the framework for fanfiction in the context of Chloe and Olivia. Chloe and Olivia are different only insofar as they, writing for Star Trek, are more easily assimilatable into our self-understanding of fannishness. Which doesn't really work, because I gave to Virginia a text to fic which is an archetypally fannish one, the grandparent of us all. A re-working of the Eden story for Eliot, where it would be closely integrated with the traditions of her own literary context and not as closely paralleling our own, might be a better example. But then we wouldn't have the copyright axis the same.
