Thank you for this post, that's a neat round-up of the problem. I more and more tend to say: 'ff is what defines itself as such' and leave it at that. That is, if its author calls it a fanfic - fine (even if readers might not - cf. your "Fanfiction "reads like fanfic" except when it doesn't."). If its author has nothing to do with fan fiction, but the readership perceives it as a fanfic - yep, it's a fanfic too. Not much of a concept, but at least it seems to work, or doesn't it?))
