OK, this is just too bizarre not to pass on...

Someone is trying to sell their Star Wars fanfic on Amazon! See for yourselves!

Actually this is not the first fanfic I've seen being sold on Amazon, and there's some stuff that ends up on on that site that seems to be part of library collections, it's downright odd.

But the part that really caught my attention? How are all those "used and new" alternate sellers coming up with copies? "Scuffing from shelf wear on covers." Whahuh? Do they simply attach their names to any book out there whether they have it or not?

How bizarre!

Now that's a good question...

Very. I came across this by accident when I came up as an author on Amazon. It was a library community study I did back in graduate school. So far as I know there are only 3 copies, each of them in a different library collection. How on earth that got listed on Amazon I'd like to see someone explain.

Nope, I have no idea. The world is a strange place...
