Exactly. Fanon doesn't really harm anything - really the only conceivable way that fanon would tick a company off is if a fan made products of their characters and then sold them.

"Overall fanon" will not be annihilated. It will always come down to conditions number one and number two, and you just said it yourself that your fanon doesn't meet those characteristics.

I used to be in the anti-copyright bandwagon but now I see the usefulness of copyright, and I see that both sides (pro- and anti-copyright) tend to spread nonsense. So I don't get too involved. Maybe you can find someone else more willing.
