fanfic novel

What ho everyone,

I was wondering if anything had ever become of the idea of making the fantastic fanfic Jeeves and the Artistic Verisimilitude into a book. 

I found the following link http://fanlore.org/wiki/Jeeves_and_the_Artistic_Verisimilitude which shows that the book has somehow been published, but when I go to the website lulu.com and search for the previously mentioned title, I get not results.

I would love to have a copy of that story as a book, especially with the art that was made.

If it ever actually happened (and I wouldn't actually trust the fanlore wiki on it), it most likely is set to private with the link given by invite only, and at-cost rather than for profit, because actually selling fanfic for profit is illegal as all hell, zines notwithstanding.

I'd PM purplefluffycat. She did set it to private with invites, I believe, and made it very plain that she's not profiting. This was quite a while ago, so if I'm wrong, someone feel free to correct me.

I would love to get my hands on a copy of that book :D

Hello!

No, it's not a myth :-) The book is available from lulu.com, at cost price. If you (or anyone else) would like the link to buy it, please send me an email (purple_cat_claire at yahoo dot com) or a PM via LJ, and I shall reply with the relevant link.

Thanks very much for your interest!

Interesting. Is this still the case if the material in question is public domain?

I'm delighted to hear it!

Huge disclaimer: NOT A LAWYER

My guess would be, out of copyright is fine. After all, people have been writing Holmes pastiches for ages, and the current spate of Victorian-horror mashups wouldn't be possible otherwise.

That said, while some of the J/W novels and stories are out of copyright, Jeeves and Wooster as characters were last published in the 70s and are still in copyright and the property of the Wodehouse estate for some years yet. This is part of the reason you can't get all of them on Project Gutenberg.
