I talked to the moderator afterwards, who confirmed that "a fan writing for other fans" qualified as "fannish."
I should clarify, if I didn't manage to at the time, that I don't remember specific policy discussions on the issue and wasn't speaking ex cathedra, as it were; but from what I do know of policy decisions so far, I would be very surprised -- and disappointed -- if this were not the case. I am not on the Content Policy Committee, but it seems to me that who are we to tell you something isn't "fannish enough"? But please do note that I wasn't speaking as the Voice of the OTW on that point.
If you want a more official answer, please contact the Community Relations Committee at <comrel@transformativeworks.org>. For what it's worth, though, my co-mod for the panel is on that committee, as was another staffer who spoke from the audience, and neither of them spoke up to disagree with what I said during the panel!
Thanks for a great con report (and for the link to Manna, which was recced to me months ago and I hadn't managed to track it down yet; bookmarked!).
