You can write fan fiction as long as its not for profit.
What you can't do is publish the original piece pretending it's yours.
Can you imagine if we were able to submit the finest literary works as our own?

you mean like walt disney did with snow white and cinderella and the little mermaid
I can't speak in this instance, other than to say I know the copyright laws only go back so far so possibly some of those fall beyond that time period.
I would also say there is much to the saying rules for thee but not for me. Monied cliques daily get away with crimes the masses will be fined and incarcerated for doing. Doesn't make it right, just shows what rich men with a large contingent of armed men backed by courts can get away with.
the hilarious thing is when the "monied cliques" convince the rest of us that enforcing their self-serving-rules is a "moral issue"
We're simply never going to agree that it's ok to steal anothers work and present it as our own. So I'm going to bow out of any more back and forth on this. I think we both have a pretty good understanding on how the other feels about this and would simply be regurgitation of these positions at this point.
i honestly have no idea why you've selected the position you hold
As one who enjoys others creation as much as you do I can say the same with you. You share many things from video, often from some show or movie. You do realize no company in their right mind would spend the money they do creating those things you enjoy if on release millions could then lay claim to its creation and begin selling it as their own work.
that's like saying no chef would create a new recipe
or no lexicographer would create a new dictionary
or no designer would create a new dress
or no comedian would create new jokes
none of these things are protected by copyright
you can write fan-fiction and ACCEPT VOLUNTARY TIPS
I feel like the goalposts are being moved here. Fan fiction is not publishing anothers work as your own. It is taking an idea and creating something new, which as you state can in fact be the recipient of tips. Amazon even allows one to sell it if it is under certain authors, which I assume means they have a deal with those authors.
