I understand where you're coming from, and concur to some degree. I hate the feeling when I can say I see what you did there with published stuff.

But even more than that my frustration tends to stem from the fact that every publisher who takes a fanfic author's filed-numbers story means that that's one less book deal that gets to go to a fiction author's no-numbers story. (And one more fiction author who I don't get to read, which is really all I'm interested in when you get right down to it.)


AFAIK the 'filed numbers' thing comes from organized crime and stolen guns, and how you can't trace them if the number's filed. So even if someone else owned it... well, you're buying it now, so you are the proud owner are you not?

Do you mind if I friend you?
