Author Craft / Re: Fanfic richer or poorer?

I think that using an authors universe but not their charecters is best for a jumping off point for a writer trying to find their own voice. As long as the original author's characters are not in it I think of it as constructive non-publishable work of fiction. If someone is writing a spin-off of anothers writers established work for pay it is simmiler to fan fic that they are trying to fit what they contribute into an exsiting framework and is not a one-off of what is the universe
