Well who knows who is the official creator of Robin Hood though, with the idea of anonymous was a woman, I can see some mother trying to entertain her kids and creating the adventures of Maid Marion and Robin Hood only to find others take the tale and run with it.
Love the idea of medieval slash too.
Copyright protection is now going to absurd lengths as the Walt Disney Co. and others want to keep control of their (lucrative) creations as long as possible. I'm so glad that Roddenberry and Paramount saw no future for "Star Trek" after it was cancelled and fanfic took off and since then no one has been able to halt it as the genie, so to speak, was out of the bottle.
