About the FanFic area
You are permitted to write fiction set in an Eddings-created world, or
using Eddings' characters. This was confirmed to me by DelRey (the
Eddings' editors) in the following email:
As far as I know, fan fiction is acceptable.))))))))) Previous Notes Mail

Dear DelRey,
What's the position regarding fanfic set in the worlds of
David & Leigh Eddings' books?
I'd like to write a short story about (say) Belgarion, and
make it available to people on the WWW (not to sell it,
obviously; even I know that that would be copyright
infringement :-)
Do David and Leigh allow this to go on? Is it strongly
frowned upon?
Can I write stories that take place in their worlds, without
using their major characters (like Anne McCaffrey allows?)
Can I just write anything as long as the Eddings' don't
see it, and I don't try and get money from it (like Terry
Pratchett allows?)
Or is it a definite no-no all round?
Thanks for the help,
Aquarius
