Which begs the question. For things that FL has licensed, (in this case, Twilight:2000) could the rights holder turn around and profit from your original IP while denying you the rights to it if you publish on the Free League Workshop?
Just because FL says you retain rights to your own original work, the idea of "merger" in IP and copyright law means that unless FFE states that publishing your original work isn't going to get you sued or that they'll try and use it without you permission, there could be a risk.
