I have, some long time ago, referred some
WotC guy (I think Rouse, but I'm not sure) to the issue of official fansites and their agreements with
WotC. It was about Birghright, not Athas, but I was surprised to know thay
WotC seemed to have no institutional memory of these agreements whatsoever. I started the discussion in the hope that
WotC would maintain these or similar agreements as pertains to
4e; I ended up doubting they will. I hope that
WotC will continue to support the old settings and allow the official fansites the great leeway that they do; but I somehow doubt it.
I'm also interested in fan-site policy in general, for my own (and others') use. The sooner the happier I'll be...
