I understand what you're saying, but realistically, it's not likely some obscure (sorry OP!) fanfic author's Patreon is going to attract this amount of attention. There are legal obstacles for people who sell fanart of trademarked/copyrighted characters all the time, BTW.

DA

Not this single instance, maybe. But if many people flock there and start making money, do you really think it'll fly under the copyright owners' legal departments for long?

I don't know, I guess we'll have to see if many people decide to plunder the rich market that is selling fanfiction and see what happens. *coughcough50shadesofGrey*

Which is different enough from its source that it's a wholly new work.

I mean, I've sold stuff that was inspired by Firefly. I have a novel coming out where one of the characters is a thinly-veiled superhero, and anyone who knows me knows exactly where he came from. Does it matter? No. Because writers are riffing from each other all the damn time. "Oh, hey, that's cool, but what if I did this instead?"

It's a matter of making it original enough to pass muster with the lawyers. As far as I'm concerned, if you can do that, you're golden.

Except filing off the serial numbers, which is what 50 Shades did (coupled with the fact that whatever else you might think of it, it was already so far removed and OOC an AU that it bore little resemblance to the original even when it was fanfiction) puts enough original content in with the content that's inspired by something else.

50 Shades might deserve legal action just for being shitty and awful, but it remains unrecognizable as anything even remotely connected to the Twilight franchise.
