Out of the “Famous Forty”, 25 of the books are public domain, allowing considerable scope for unlicensed spin-offs, sequels and re-imaginings; thus making the trope DystopianOz possible, which many of the below works employ. Given the public domain status of most of the original books by now, fan fiction of the series can be legally published and profited from. Series that take on their own unique interpretations of Oz, such as ''Literature/TheWickedYears'' and ''Literature/DorothyMustDie'', have found great success with major publishers. Stories that try to stick to the original canon of the Famous Forty Oz books are more niche, and many of these stories have been published by The Royal Publisher of Oz, the Hungry Tiger Press, Books of Wonder, the official fan magazine ''Oziana'', and others over the years. [[http://www.oztimeline.net/BooksforSale.htm The Royal Publisher of Oz]] is nowadays the main publisher of these canon-friendly Oz stories (other than those who self-publish), and maintains an extended canon for modern stories that are close enough in tone to the original books.
