Fan Fave

A fan fave (also: fan favo[u]rite) is usually a character, work or someone from cast & crew that becomes popular within a fandom without no apparent reason or even despite (for example for antagonists). 
In cases of characters, fan faves are usually not main characters.
The popularity of a favorite is not just measured by the number of openly declared fans, or the number of related fanworks, but rather in the feelings of devotion and affection they give/received off in their fans. So many faves can be callouted problematics by some non-fans or antis.

Fan Fiction, Fandom, and Fanfare: What's All the Fuss?

Fan Fiction, Fandom, and Fanfare: What's All the Fuss? is a 2003 academic paper by Meredith McCardle.
The message: fan fiction is illegal, and batten down the hatches, as you're probably gonna get sued. And the threat is growing, growing, growing!
==Some Topics Discussed==
* fan fiction and legalities
* the first zine to receive a cease and desist: Dreadnought Explorations
* erroneous information on what the article claims to be the second zine to received a cease and desist: Guardian
* discussion of the Open Letters to Star Wars Zine Publishers (1981) sent by LucasFilm
* one of the main take-aways is that fans can reduce risk by not using their fanworks in any sort of a "commercial manner"
* slash
* Mary Sues
* the author asserts that fan fiction infringes upon copyright, the copyright of fictional characters: "For women in particular, the primary writers of fan fiction and fandom provide an escape from traditional societal gender roles and permit a writer to explore the contours of relationships in a postmodern society. This is increasingly true with regards to slash fan fiction. Despite the personal benefits derived from writing fan fiction, it is copyright infringement, nonetheless."
* the role of fair use
* the statement that fanfiction.net has almost 500,000 works archived on its site
* using the parody argument
* the value of disclaimers: "Fan fiction authors will assuredly improve their legal status by using disclaimers.... Courts have held that disclaimers are a valid and productive means by which defendants can distance themselves from the plaintiff's ownership interest."
* cites a 2002 email from Xing Li
* "Even if fan fiction is able to leap the copyright hurdle, a finding of infringement is still a real threat under trademark law."
* " In today's online world, cease and desist letters from copyright holders are routine practice."
* a horrible explanation of why women write Mary Sues (it's about the shame they feel) that is more shaming than most shame itself
* the surprising omission of that old hoary tale: Marion Zimmer Bradley Fanfiction Controversy

Fan Fiction: Bane or Boone?

Fan Fiction: Bane or Boone? is an article about fanfiction and the advantages and disadvantages for TPTB.
The article quotes the webmaster of Godawful Fan Fiction on the enjoyment fans get out of writing fanfiction and it says the copyright holders of Hercules: the Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess understood that the spreading of fan narratives added to the bottom line of the profit margin. Lord of the Rings is mentioned as another example that had a solid core of fans on the internet which helped the movies. Anne McCaffrey and Anne Rice, on the other hand, are mentioned for pursuing fansites hosting fanfiction.

Fan Fiction: Is It Legal, Or Merely Tolerated?

"Fan Fiction: Is It Legal, Or Merely Tolerated?" by Jim Van Hise is an essay in Enterprise Incidents #6. 
The topics discussed: the legality of fan fiction and reasons why Paramount "allows" it.
==Some Points==
* When Paramount was suing Thunderbird Films for selling copies of Star Trek episodes on 16 and 8 mm film of fans, it was revealed that the first two years of Star Trek were not properly copyrighted, something that muddied the legal situation for fanzines. 
* One reason Paramount turns a blind eye to fanzines is "peaceful co-existence" and small print runs-- the article prints a letter by Paula Smith, previously published in Menagerie #3, one which she states that "fanfic is 99% legal" 
* "There is yet another reason why fan fiction is probably allowed to peaceably exist. It helps keep STAR TREK alive.... Thus they tolerate us because they want to, not because they have to."

Fan Fiction - Leben nach dem Serientod

Fan Fiction - Leben nach dem Serientod is an article written in German by Verena Wolff for the DPA (German Press Agency) about the X-Files fanfiction author Donnilee who primary writes NC-17 MSR and Skinner/Other stories. It was first published on stern.de in 2002 and linked both from TXF.de and XFM.
==Excerpt==
"Die Schreiber dieser literarischen Fan-Werke haben sich vieler verschiedener Fernsehserien angenommen. Donnie haben es die Hauptpersonen der inzwischen eingestellten Mystery-Serie »Akte X« besonders angetan. »Es gibt Grenzen im Fernsehen, aber wenn man selbst schreibt, eröffnet sich ein Reich neuer Möglichkeiten, die es so im Fernsehen nicht gibt«, erläutert die Autorin, die für eine Firma arbeitet, die elektronische Bauteile herstellt. Die Charaktere der FBI-Agenten Mulder und Scully, die neun Serienjahre lang unerklärliche Phänomene untersuchten und Außerirdische jagten, findet sie besonders faszinierend."

Fan Fiction Database

Fan Fiction Database was a 1998 proposed project by Christine Wirick/Lal Soong.
It was meant to be a site which did not archive fiction itself, but included links to what the site creators felt were quality fics that should be read and promoted.
It is unknown if this website ever made it off the ground. Imbedded in the announcement is a Fortune City website link that is now long gone.
Some interesting points:
In early 1998, when this site was proposed, it was conceivably possible to include links to the majority of online fanfic in this database.
It is also an example of how even simply linking to stories was a fandom etiquette issue.
Finally, the post generated comments from fans who felt that picking the "best" fanfic, and rec sites in general, was elitist and unfair.
The list of authors at the end of the post gives a snapshot of a sort of who's who in mid to late 1990s media fanfiction writers. It is also an excellent example of how most fans were using their legal names online, and that the "obvious pseud" ("Jungle Katt, upinstars, feedthebear, Mrs. Mulder...) were not in popular use yet.
==Site Description==
==Fan Reaction==
This announcement was sent out to eight Usenet mailing lists. There were no comments at seven of them: alt.tv.quantum-leap.creative, alt.tv.sliders.creative, alt.drwho.creative, alt.tv.x-files.creative, alt.tv.due-south.creative, alt.ql.creative, and alt.startrek.creative.erotica.
At alt.startrek.creative, fans had this to say:all comments are from alt.startrek.creative › Announcement: New Fan Fic Database, February 7, 1998
