"When I created Weird, the rock star in my novel Espedair Street, I think Fish was at the back of my mind as a wee subliminal influence." -- http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/how-we-met-ian-banks--fish-1089637.html

I don't believe inspiration or influence makes something fanfic. I think there's a real difference between writing something as fanfic, then changing the names for publication, and writing something original even with clear influences. (Not that I necessarily think the first is some unpardonable sin, but I tend to be of the opinion that if it could be done easily it was probably not very good AS FANFIC in the first place.)
