There's a world of difference, though, between posting some fanfic on a website and launching a range of books using DC characters, which is what you've done here.
If you go over to the actual DC Comics forums, they have their own policy for fan fiction: It can be posted but, if you do, you waive any right to sue DC if they use a story similar to yours.
Basically, the point I'm making is that DC allows fan fiction as long as nobody is charging money for it or otherwise making a profit. Its free advertising for them as well as a way for them to connect to their fans.
Heck, one of their writers, Devin Grayson, was discovered and hired by DC after they read her own fanfics.
1. National Publications (DC Comics) is fully aware of the websites where these stories come from. They're fan fiction. In no way does textual stories conflict with their market which reside mainly in graphic literature.
2. I have placed a disclaimer at the bottom of each story.
3. If Feedbooks has a problem with these stories, they are fully within their rights to take them down or request me to do so.

No. I am not.
A couple of points:
1. National Publications (DC Comics) is fully aware of the websites where these stories come from. They're fan fiction. In no way does textual stories conflict with their market which reside mainly in graphic literature.
2. I have placed a disclaimer at the bottom of each story.
