Fanfiction

[annwfyn.livejournal.com]

This is a slightly random question, but do all PoC writers have to be published, or does fanfiction count?

I'm quite happy with it not counting, but as I've been spending most of this morning entranced by some really quite nice X-Men fanfiction, written by a Native American writer, I thought I should really ask.

1. I am 100% in favor of counting fanfic.
2. I strongly prefer noting that something is fanfic in both the subject line and the tags.
3. I'd prefer to keep "does this author count?" posts to a minimum. Regardless of whether it's fanfic or published, really; but it seems somewhat more likely to come up when there are no author's blurbs. Please apply cluestick if this is unfair.
