From a purely selfish perspective, it seems Amazon are very much persuing the current "in" shows with this. So it's not the case that any fan of any show can publish fanfic on Kindle Worlds.

I imagine that this means LNC is unlikely to be added to their stable. They're not likely to think of chasing down the licence holders. So it's probably not going to greatly affect FoLCdom in the near future.

On the wider scale, it's certainly...interesting. I can't imagine that it will do fandom much good in general. I'm sure there'll be a clause somewhere in that contract that fanfic can't be or previously have been posted elsewhere.

Safe to say, this one will be closely watched.

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
