Hi, there! Does this apply to your fanfic or your original stories? I often considered to do the same, but was not sure if a CC license can apply to fanfic. With original work, it is possible, though, and I may do so with my poems and cartoons.

I'd say it applies to both: original and fanfiction. I've had someone riff off on one of my LotR fics (with permission) before already, so I know that it's done. Might as well have it done within a specific limit, and with the caveat that credit be given where credit is due.
