The Novels of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman

I have to rave on about the trilogy I just finished reading, the "Novels of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman" by Pamela Aidan. The three books re-tell the events of "Pride and Prejudice" from Darcy's point of view. And it works, it really works. I especially loved the third book, where the events come to a head.

1) An Assembly Such As This
2) Duty and Desire
3) These Three Remain

Oh, thank goodness! I get pretty concerned when I hear a fanwriter say that fanfiction is illegal; there's no reason that we should help the copyright owners by squashing our own freedoms for them. :D

What you need to do, then, is file the serial numbers off: write Avatar fic. I suspect that's what I may do, if I ever get around to it.

I am considering that.

And sorry if it wasn't obvious; I saw on the link that the books started as fanfic.

Not at all; I probably overreacted. Legality of fanfic is one of the very few issues I care enough about to, er, rush in where angels fear to tread, so to speak.
