We went over this the last time it came up.

If you do like one shot commissions for people that should be fine. Most of the fanart I do for pay and the fics my friends write for pay are typically private. If you start printing books you're in bad territory.

Writing is a lot more damaging to IPs that single pieces of art. There's also the legal issue of what if someone who works on the IP reads your fic and decides to include the plot without your permission. Or more possible, they use an idea similar to yours and you decide to sue them. That's why Comic publishers generally don't accept unsolicited scripts.

Technically people that do stuff like sell t-shirts and prints are doing something illegal. If we're talk about people at cons, most companies allow it because it's advertisement and who wants to be that guy that tells a booth to stop selling stuff with their characters on it? The only people who can get away with that are small press/web creators like Hussie because people are more defensive of the little guy's property than a companies'.

As far as comics go, most of those people are, or want to be, in comics and fanart is their way of showing the companies they can draw their characters.
