Authors who create works of at least 10,000 words in length will receive 35 percent of the net revenue based on the actual sales price, with royalties paid each month. Those who write shorter pieces between 5,000 and 10,000 words will receive a digital royalty or 20 percent of the sales price.
As the program is just getting off the ground, Amazon has signed up one rights holder so far – Warner Bros. Television Group’s Alloy Entertainment division. This agreement paves the way for fan fiction based on the “Gossip Girl” series by Cecily von Ziegesar, “Pretty Little Liars” by Sara Shepard, and “Vampire Diaries” by LJ Smith.
Amazon said it plans to announce more license agreements soon with an eye toward fan fiction based on books, TV shows, movies, music, and even games.
“Our goal with Kindle Worlds is to create a home for authors to build on the Worlds we license, and give readers more stories from the Worlds they enjoy,” Philip Patrick, director of business development and publisher of Kindle Worlds, said in a statement. “We look forward to announcing additional World licensing deals in the coming weeks.”
The Worlds Kindle store is expected to open its doors in June with more than 50 stories, some from award-winning authors. The Kindle Worlds self-service submission platform will launch usefull at that time,-allowing anyone to submit a piece of fan fiction.
Writers who want to learn more about the program can check out the Kindle Worlds Web site.
Amazon.com Featured authors of Amazon’s new fan fiction books [from left to right] AR Kahler, Joseph Brassey, and Trish Milburn, writing in “The Vampire Diaries,” and Nancy NAIGLE, writing in “Pretty Little Liars.” Are you Such a big fan of “The Vampire Diaries” that you write your own stories about the denizens of Mystic Falls? Well, Amazon (AMZN) wants to publish your work & #8211; and it wants to see you get paid for it. The company Announced Wednesday that, for the first time, authors will be bootable to make money On Their fan fiction under a new venture it’s calling Kindle Worlds.
Fan fiction describes That under-appreciated genre of writing in Which amateur authors make use of an already-established fictional universe, or at from a TV or book series. At heart, it always has a leg way for devoted fans to explore and share “what if” questions about Their favorite characters – sometimes filling in background, other times going far outside the established canon: What does Hermione do on summer vacation? What if Buffy got turned into a vampire? What if Admiral Adama and President Roslyn with The Doctor from “Doctor Who”
But few have seriously asked the question: What if we could make a little cash off this? And with good reason: The authors and owners of Those universes have tended to frown on it. For example, J. K. Rowling has said she’s “flattered” by Harry Potter fan fiction, but added That She wanted to ensurethat Potter fan-fic Remained a “non-commercial activity.”
Amazon Publishing’s announcement Wednesday morning May signaled a shift in thinking That. Amazon has licensed the rights to three book series, all of Which have spawned television shows, “Gossip Girl,” “Pretty Little Liars” and “Vampire Diaries”. That clears the way for fan fiction That can actually be sold Commercially, rather than simply being traded on fan forums.
“Through thesis licenses, Kindle Worlds will allow any writer to publish authorized stories inspired by popular thesis Worlds and make them available for readers to purchase in the Kindle Store, “Amazon says in a press release. It goes on to explain That both the rights holder and the author will make royalties from published works, with the fan fiction author getting 35% of net revenue for works about 10,000 words. Short stories between 5,000 and 10,000 words will cost under a dollar, with authors getting 20% ??of net revenue.
The Worlds Kindle store will launch next month with 50 commissioned works, and at that point, the self- publishing platform will open up to the general public.
Given the popularity of the three licensed properties, Amazon can expect a lot of submissions. On the “Vampire Diaries” section of FanFiction.net, authors have posted more than 17,000 works, and we’re sure many of Those authors would love to have the opportunity to get paid for Their Work. And fans or other fictional universes May usefull get the same opportunity, as Amazon says it plans to continuously adding more licenses.
While we imaginethatdesign only a small fraction of fan-fiction works will make any real money through Kindle Worlds, it’s easy to see why Amazon wants to get into this business. The “Fifty Shades of Grey” series started out as a fan fiction based on the “Twilight” series, though it was to be bootable Commercially published Because it diverged from the “Twilight” universe in its characters and setting. The runaway success of That series has obviously Convinced many in the publishing indu stry thatthere’s some talent lurking On those fan-fiction forums. Now Amazon is going to find out if it can monetize That talent.

In the system are colored oil drops, drops of water, and a transparent electrode in layers one above the other.
