Works of fanfiction are more likely to constitute fair use if they are transformative with respect to the original work, if they are non-commercial, if they appropriate relatively little of the original work, and/or if they do not tend to detract from the potential market for or value of the original work.

The study also found that fan fiction writers tend to be in their early to mid-20s.

The legal team working on behalf of Organization for Transformative Works believes that the publication of fan fiction on AO3 is legal under the Fair Use doctrine, meaning that they need to be transformative, which they interpret as giving new meaning to the original work.

Definition! Often written in fics as ``five times character did one thing, and one time character did the opposite thingʼʼ or ``one time the thing was done to characterʼʼ, the 5+1 fic format is often used to show changing relationships or character arcs over time.

A lot of creators avoid doing so because if they later write anything similar, they can be sued for stealing ideas, even if they had the idea before reading the fanfiction. Thatʼs also why movie directions and the like donʼt read scripts that are mailed to them.

The moral of this story is: never be ashamed of what you enjoy reading. Donʼt let the people who are riding their pretentious high horses tell you that only classics count as real reading. In my opinion, fanfics can be just as good (sometimes better) as the stories that inspired them and as classic literature.

In the USA it is not illegal to read, write, or host fanfic. Thatʼs not necessarily the case in some other countries, where sites like FFN are banned (for instance.)

Yes, it is possible to get sued for writing fanfiction, as it generally involves using someone elseʼs copyrighted characters or settings without their permission.
