That suggests that they will turn a blind eye to everything except clear indications of profit off of their franchise that they are not a part of. In that case, making your own intentions clear in your material and documentation would probably be enough to keep you out of hot water. Although, as I said earlier, the actions of a few fans could still queer things for you, at least you would probably not be considered liable for their transgressions.

I believe the exact work is still under copyright by the fanfic writer even if it is fanfiction so if someone sells your work (or even redistributes it without your permission) you can still go after them and the original author may help you in that regard.
