Fan Fiction and Short Story

You can tell summer is almost upon us. Postings at various communities have started to slow up along with commentaries. Time to go out and play in the sun.

I was thinking about short stories and comparison to fan fiction. Fan fiction is it’s own unique genre, writing in a known universe with characters somewhat developed by others. At what length page wise or what is the number words a FF story is considered as a short story? Yeah, I know. Perhaps an inane question considering I have read anywhere from one page to hundreds. But I am curious about convention in fan fiction writing. Are there any standards in terms of characterization, plot, setting, and other writing elements.

I really do need to find others with similar interest in writing and add them to my friendlist.
