I confess I find the whole issue of fanfic, well, boring. I'd ignore it completely, if it weren't that what I do to Greek mythology lies somewhere on the front end of the {fanfic/reuse/retelling/commentary/allusion} spectrum, and it's slashy to boot. So I really ought to be paying attention, at least to the theory. Not that we have a good literary theory of fanfic, or even much in the way of critical tools beyond the concept of mimetogenic works.
