Bradbury Fanfiction
I've looked around for a while on various fanfiction sites, but I haven't been able to find any Something Wicked This Way Comes fanfiction, which I've been addicted to after reading it in 2 days. The only fanfiction I've seen are some Martian Chronicles stories and something to do with Smallville.

Are there any?

Maybe I don't get out enough, but what exactly is fanfiction?

"Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery."

Fanfiction is fiction/art/music...
by fans in imitation of a favorite author. It can take many forms: stories about a favorite charcter (Mr. Dark, e.g.), or set in a favorite setting (Green Town), or in the style of the author (full of imagery and metaphors). Some of the "shared Universe" science fiction books ("Thieves' World") might be considered fanfic to the Nth degree.
Ray's early fanzine might have carried fanfic in it. It has been a part of science-fiction fandom from the beginning. The most well-known example I know would be the "Star Trek" novels, and collections like "The Best of Trek" series.
