FWIW, it's possible that WotC is clamping down on fan publishing altogether as an effort to reign in control of their IP. Earier today, I received word from WotC corporate that I cannot dedicate an issue of my 2-page fanzine to their Lords of Creation property (luckily I checked before assuming that it was okay).
I'm somewhat disappointed, as they haven't done anything with LoC since acquiring it (and prior to the acquisition, nobody had done anything with it for well over a decade), though I suppose that the "Let's share!" era of gaming had to come to an end some day. It was fun while it lasted and I guess we can at least be thankful we got as much as we did.*
*Prior to the advent of the OGL and PDF publishing, the common practice amongst publishers was to sit on their old property forever, never allowing it to again see the light of day.
