Time recently wrote an article on fan fiction, "The Boy Who Lived Forever." It centers on Harry Potter, doesn't deal much with Tolkien, but passes through The Man from UNCLE and Star Trek in covering the history, law and ethics of the art. Should one borrow someone else's characters, even if the author would not approve?

Maybe worth a read.
