[edit] Introduction
There existed other fan fiction communities, similar to the Sherlock Holmes one. These communities were literary based, attracting professional and amateur authors alike. One fan fiction community that followed that model was the one based on the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs. The community was largely founded in 1960 with the creation of the Burroughs Biblophiles and the group’s fanzine Burrough’s Bulletin. This group was still around and active in 1971. The Burroughs Bulletin #21 was published in this year with a story by William Gilmour titled “Back to Earth’s Core.” In 1982, in the pastiche community, David Bruce Bozarth wrote “Monster Men, An Audio Play” which was published in The Tangor's Fan Fiction. That same year, Andy Nunez wrote and published in the same zine “Skipjack Pete,” a comic strip piece of fan fiction. In 1985, in the pastiche community, David Bruce Bozarth and James D. Bozarth wrote “Beyond Poloda” which was published in Tangor's Fan Fiction. In 1997, "Memoirs of An Ape-Child" by David Adams was published in Nkima Speaks.

[edit] Fan fiction policy and history
According to a post by Larry Homer titled "Opinions on current copyright laws regarding online RPGs, fan fiction, etc?" on The Taint's message board, the heirs of Edgar Rice Burroughs do not tolerate fan fiction. Furthermore, this author's heirs or their lawyers aggressively seek to stop that sort of infringement. [1]
RCC (rkrcotton@att.net) in a post to alt.fan.james-bond on July 9, 1999 says:
- You can't write a Tarzan story without being almost immediately sued by the Burrough's Estate, which is famous in writing circles for even hunting down REFERENCES to their character in other films, stories, etc. James Bond, while being more lenient than Burroughs, is still a character held very close to the vest. [2]
[edit] Computers and their impact on the fandom
From 1984 to 1988, personal computers, aided by their word processing programs, started to have an impact on the publication of fanzines. They, along with the growth of coping services, led to a growth in the number of fanzines and created a situation where more fen could produce their own, high quality fanzines. (Langley)
