Fan Fiction is a lot like the Japanese art form of Doujinshi, in which people are influenced by, or use characters from, book and movies (or manga) to create their own story lines in that world. In America, there are plenty of authors that are okay with the idea of fanfiction, but there are other authors that believe it infringes on the copyright laws. Do you think if the fanfiction writers/artists are not gaining any profit from their work, is it still a violation of the copyright laws? While some of it can be pretty ridiculous, the original artists should be flattered that there are people that are so passionate about their work that they come up with whole other worlds for them.
