Maybe I'm just being really dense, but I can't find an email address on his blog. Would you be able to email it to me, or point me in the right direction? (my lj email would be fine)
My comment, for people who want to read it:
In addition to the comments, something that was not addressed in the answers was whether or not a site like FanLib makes it more likely for a copyright/IP owner to take action.
For instance, see comments from John Scalzi (http://ficlets.com/blog/entry/corporatized_fan_fiction):
I�m willing to look the other way for fans, who are just enjoying themselves and not bothering to try to do anything other than have fun. I�m less inclined to look the other way when someone is trying to build a business a) off my fans without compensating them; b) off of my universe and characters without compensating me.
