This question came up a few months ago on Potterfandom - where the copyright issues are even more problematical. The consensus, I think (I can't find the links - possibly from the plagarism comms?) is that it is unacceptabel to make money from fanworks - and this practice (and the worse one of putting paper zines on sale through e-bay) needs to be discouraged.

Having started in 'paper-zine fandom' I still prefer to read print versions - and would be quite happy to sell on my duplicate and unwanted old zines. I'd be more wary of selling on the electronic versions on (3" floppy!) disc - even if they were still readable on modern machines! but for internet copies - well, I'd never even consider archiving without the author's express permision. how are they to get feedback if they donlt know who is reading their story?
