From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

You may not like it, Amorkuz (it is obvious that you do not), but as you yourself acknowledge, media are changing. Webnovels that are only later published in print are an accepted form of literature these days. It is a form that official release of a work of fiction can take. Or are you suggesting that, say, Worm has never been "officially released"?

As LegoK9 has shown in more details than I had, we've long ago authorized several "self-published" works. You might think a BBV VHS "looks more professional" than a webnovel, but that's really neither here nor there (and even then, I'll note that fanfilms such as Rupert Booth's Timebase Serials were circulating at the same time as BBV in much the same format, and I'd be hard-pressed to say one is more professional-looking than the other, copyright matters aside).
