Religious tract fanfiction has a storied history as old as Pilgrim's Progress. In the introduction to the second part, the author mentions that after releasing the original work there were numerous knockoffs and unofficial sequels, something which was actually a real problem before nations started to stiffen up intellectual property laws. So fanfiction is in no way new; what's new is the fact that you can use the internet to distribute fanfiction without getting into trouble with current IP laws.

Don't forget about that loser Dante Alighieri, whose self-insert fanfiction the Divine Comedy--where he pals around with Virgil and looks for a hot babe he barely met in person--is still taught in schools today.
