I'm going to make a donation to AO3/OTW out of the next paycheck because that's my first reasoned response to the Kindle thing--that we need to support the fan sites.
And I imagine that's true--I heard some great presentations on the Trek media tie in stuff in the 90s at Pop Culture--including how Paramount slammed down hard after the inadvertent release of Della Van Hise's novel that had some pretty clear slashy elements (and that there were some fan writers doing some tie-in with fanfiction elements). It's hard to know how much of that is unsubstantiated/overinflated rumors, though.
