Hmm, according to logic … maybe?? I can reasonably see that sort of thing being posted to AO3 (although I'm sure it would be deleted if anyone came across it in a moderation capacity), and in a sense it's fanfiction of real life, taking the canon of reality and adapting it as the writer wishes … this is a very hot take and I'm sure I'll crumble completely if anyone ever challenges it, but I think the “profit or no profit” criterion trumps all others for me. (And good point about the Strugatsky brothers, although even hotter take, perhaps we can call any system that exchanges labour for wages capitalist …)
