Query: Good Fan Fiction

I know that sounds like an oxymoron. MZB was a rarity in the world of authors: she actually encouraged fan fiction, and loved to read the "slush pile".This anthology contains some good (and some merely passable) stories about unusual uses of laran powers on the planet of Darkover. However, I found the most interesting parts were the introductions to the stories written by MZB, and the insight into her character revealed there.I was especially tickled by the introduction to the entire anthology, in which MZB recounts how a nameless author called her a sellout and she retorted that at least her kid wasn't forced to steal food. Priceless.
