When the final chapter of "_The Legend of the Sword of the Day and the Sword of the Night_" was translated to English I kept hearing on the chatroom where it was posted that we had best read it now before the author asked the translation to be taken down off the site.

The Author also made [this post](http://nanofate.us/sword?page=10#comment-38955)

> Thanks Crazyla for your work and for finishing the translation, I know it was not easy (the long chapters and some of the words used in it).

Now from my understanding it's set in the Nanohaverse and uses the same characters while adding new ones so it's not a entirely different story with coincidental characters going by the same names, however I have always been told that Fanfiction could never be published unless the original creators adopted it which to my knowledge the author hasn't.

So how does one get Fanfiction "Published", does the original creators need to be contacted to get permission?
