Yep, ABe wrote a doujinshi called 'Charcoal Feather Federation' in 1998, which featured lots of Haibane-like creations, but didn't have any characters or story from the animated series. He later wrote 4 more, the first of which are almost exact versions of the opening 2 episodes.
I'm not sure if the doujinshi is licensed, but you can download three of the chapter translations
here. The 'Haibane Lifestyle Diary' is very funny, it was made when the anime was announced and ABe decided to to a comedy with the day to day lives of the Haibane.
