What's the policy/netiquette on fanfiction based on HPMoR?

I have a small story idea (not big, one chapter long) but I don't know how Eliezer feels about such things.

Also, if anyone's curious, derivatives of Luminosity/Radiance are also OK.

This means someone could write a MoR/Luminosity crossover if they were so inclined.

From here:

All fanfiction involves borrowing the original author's characters, situations, and world. It is ridiculous to turn around and complain if your own ideas get borrowed in turn. Anyone is welcome to steal any ideas from any fanfiction I write.

Eliezer also has a section specifically devoted to HPMoR fanfics in that page, though at present it only contains Once Upon a Tower. It seems pretty lonely in there, all by itself... why don't you write your story and give it some company?

I asked him once, here. He reacted favorably. (for the curious, work in progress).

The one time I saw the question come up Eliezer was OK with it and even reacted possibly.

Eliezer has said he's okay with derivative works, and I really want to see it.
