Submission + - First CC community edited Fiction Novel, or not? (thickerthanbloodthebook.com)

Odinson writes: "A couple of years ago I released a draft of a science fiction novel under the by-nc-nd CC license. I started accepting edits in the hopes of polishing a manuscript for submission to a publisher. A publisher never materialized, but the draft started getting really solid. So a couple of months ago I decided to buy an ISBN and sell hard copies from Lulu. While doing research for a press release I great difficulty discovering the first CC, community edited, work of fiction. I strongly suspect that this novel is the first. My questions are can anybody point to a prior CC + community edited + fiction + novel? How about under other licenses? Science fiction? If someone has traveled this road before, I'd like to ask them how it went. I would also like to vet this here before making such a claim."
