How would she be allowed to write such a thing? What part of the FR is Public Domain? Why wouldn't WotC shut it down immediately? Do I ask too many questions??
And how do you "one-off" this enough to make it legal? As soon as anything in the novel alludes to something demonstrably FR, it's Game Over. Please enlighten me. |

It falls under the umbrella of fanfiction, I guess. So far as she doesn't profit with it, it doesn't goes against the fan content policy of WotC.

Instead of seeking change, you prefer a void, merciless abyss of a world... |

The money side seems to be the biggest thing -- so long as money isn't changing hands, WotC has been pretty relaxed about fan content.
Yeah, I get that it does cost money to chase down and sic lawyers on people producing fan fiction or fan art -- but there are IPs where slapping down fan material is a regular thing. |

She did, but as I recall, she also took it back down. |

She took it down because she decided she no longer wanted it publicly available. So long as that's the case, I'll respect her wishes and not share.
Short version, though: Azariah Craulnober was making her first trip to Evermeet, and was nearly there, when the Spellplague hit. |

| I remember seeing those few chapters. If I remember correctly there was a bit about a lythari in the Wealdath, that had me excited. Now I'm mad at myself for not saving them. |
