Fanart is not seen as nearly a big of a threat to IPs at written work. Fanart is usually just a single image of a character that's usually in the spirit of canon to appeal to the widest amount of people.

The rule of thumb as far as comic cons go is your stuff shouldn't be mass produced. A few prints, some original pieces, commissions. If you see people doing more online or whatever. Report them. Don't be like "Oh well they're doing it so I can do." No. Report them.

Fanfiction would have to be mass produced because you're probably not going to hammer out a fic for a person waiting in line. There's also the potential, depending on what the fic is for, that the original creators are worried about lawsuits if the idea ends up in the official works. At least that's why mainstream comic companies don't take script submissions.


As someone else said. Change it up and make it original.

Pretty much this. There's all sorts of things we can look at on the fandom side of it, and from the point of view of the artists/ficcers--what people are willing to pay, the cost and time that goes into the creation of a piece of fanwork.

At the end of the day, it's that fanfic is something that is more dangerous, legally speaking, to the companies that own the original creation than fanfic is. As long as it's not for profit, they can ignore it and don't have to worry about the legal repercussions.

Again there's the double standard. "A few prints" isn't mass production? How about artists who upload their art to websites that sell prints without any limit on the number of prints that can be sold? I'm not sure how that would be different than fanfic writers selling copies of their work through Lulu.com or something.

Report them. Don't pull this "They're doing that so why can't I (or someone else) do this." Report them. I do.
