I think--and this is kinda babbly-words happening--that fanfic is closer to what the original work is than fanart. That is, it's a story. Fanart can, to an extent, tell a one-panel story, but that's about it. But most of the original things sell because they're stories that people want to experience. Fanart (and official art/merchandise) is like...an accessory that you can add to it.

Like, I can (in a very gray-area, if they wanted to crack down on it they totally could) sell a print I drew of Hawkeye.

But if I tried to sell my little four-page comic I drew with Hawkeye in it, that would be no good, and potentially get me into trouble, because Marvel already sells Hawkeye comics, and the Hawkeye comics are the primary thing.

I dunno, like I said, I'm kinda babbling. I think it mostly comes down to selling Story versus selling an Accessory.

Hmm . . . My mother once bought me a calender filled with beautiful pictures of dragons. The pictures had a shared world, and seemed to have some kind of continuity, but it was all very vague. If I were to write a fanfic filling in the gaps, would that be functionally different from the original pictures? At least, would it be more different than if I made pictures inspired by the originals?

Edit: I was able to track down the pics. They were by someone called Ciruelo. http://www.dac-editions.com/

Yes, Fiction inspired by that would be functionally different.

If you wanted to write in that world, you would have to invent the world - the pictures give no mechanics, no characterization, nothing more than visuals.

Also, cool pics.
