The only one which comes to my mind is "Wicked", a fanfic about The Wizard of Oz.

4 Name: Bookworm : 2007-01-22 06:07 ID:m1JQm1jW

Wide Sargasso Sea. (Worst ostensible work of fiction ever.)

5 Name: Bookworm : 2007-01-28 00:01 ID:s+IhQt5/

You mean like The Book of Mormon? Ok, so that doesn't sell at all, they give it away.

Don't forget "The Da Vinci Code."

10 Name: Bookworm : 2007-01-30 19:35 ID:0iFEIAax

Da Vinci Code has actually very little to do with the Bible. It's more like a fanfic of a fanfic.

Ok, it didn't technically "sell," being a webcomic, but I think that Dan Kim's fancomic "Nana's Everyday Life" was far superior to it's source, the animu "Elfen Lied."

Neither the new testament nor a webcomic are fanfics or commercial.

13 Name: Bookworm : 2007-02-03 21:15 ID:Br1s0dWM

Paramount had an arrangement with some publishers, and maybe still does, to sell "original Star Trek fiction."

I'm told it sells pretty well. Do Star Trek novels count as fanfiction?

What do you define "fan fiction" as? A piece of fiction, based upon a previous work, written by a fan of that previous work?
