Peter David

Peter David wrote fanfic in five fandoms. 
He later went on to become a professional writer.
He wrote the Star Trek: New Frontier novel series, a spin-off from Star Trek: The Next Generation, with John J. Ordover in 1997. 
His other novels include film adaptations, media tie-ins, and original works.
Some of David's original fiction are "spin-offs" from other novels such as "Oliver Twist"("Artful") and "Peter Pan" ("Tigerheart"), and are, in essence, fanfiction.
David has stated that Harlan Ellison is a writer he has emulated. Friends of Ellison, published January 14, 1994, in Comics Buyer’s Guide #1052

==The "Scans Daily" Controversy==
In February 2009, Scans Daily was suspended by Live Journal for copyright violation.schmevil. scans_daily suspended, posted 27 February 2009. (accessed 28 February 2009) 
At the time it was widely rumored that the suspension was the result of Peter David officially bringing Scans Daily to the attention of Marvel Comics' legal department.box-in-the-box. scans_daily ... no more? posted February 27, 2009. (accessed February 28, 2009) David and the community had come head to head over a post which revealed a spoiler at the end of the latest issue of X-Factor (issue #40), a comic that had been written by David. Many of the users were disgruntled over the spoiler and announced it in the strongest possible terms. A flamewar between David and at least one prominent Scans Daily community member resulted in the comments. 
In the end, Peter David did not deny reporting Scans Daily to Marvel, but he did state that neither he nor Marvel had actually made any effort to shut down the comm. If this is correct, then LJ TOSed Scans Daily without his intervention.Blog post by Peter David, published February 28, 2009. (accessed February 28, 2009)
