Creative Commons for Works of Fiction
The Creative Commons is a license that allows others to use and disseminate works (typically text) so long as credit is given to the original author. (Well, that's the shortened version, anyways, and a lot more variations than just that exist). This blog, for instance, is protected by the Creative Commons license.

To that end, it's always nice to see fiction writers release books to the Creative Commons license. Two authors have done just that recently. One is David R Perry, with his book, "Big Book of Forewards". It's a book full of fictitious forewards for books that don't seem to exist.

Another Creative Commons author is Mark Horne, who just released the novel, "My Tokyo Death Cult", a science-fiction novel, also freely downloadable.
