After some thinking, I think that fanfic involves the following: 1. It is based on a source (another story or someone’s life/real events) 2. It is a story (thus excluding most art and meta 3. There is some kind of addition or change to the original source (thus excluding a lot of recaps or retellings, which generally try to avoid making major changes to the story) 4. It is unofficial - the original creator or rights-holder of/to the source has not created the new story, nor have they asked someone else to write it
