You know, I don't know if you can rightfully classify it as "fan fiction". Because the whole idea that started the Dungeons and Dragons thing, is based upon the players imagination. Creating a character, role playing that character. So writing a story about that character, and the role of that character is not exactly the same as writing a Star Trek story about established characters. The Star Trek Universe, was constructed for making television and movies etc... The Forgotten Realms is a Dungeons and Dragons Campaign world. The whole point of creating it, was to let people create characters and write their own game "modules" within the boundaries defined by the campaign world. Although I am not doing an adequate job of putting my finger on it, there seems to me to be a very fundabmental difference between a Star Trek Fan Fiction peice, and telling the story of your characters adventures in the Dungeons and Dragons Game. I mean I suppose if you created a Cardassian character and wrote stories about that character, an argument could be made that we are talking about the same thing. Except for that basic reason for the two different imaginary universe's to exist. Dungeons and Dragons was created for the purpose. Star Trek was a television show. Maybe someone else can better draw the distinction I refer to. I'm a bit tired at the moment.
