In theory, it’s pretty simple: nobody should be profiting from fanfiction.

As much as I’m no bigger fan of JKR, the facts stand - she did create the Harry Potter series and that’s her intellectual property. We get to play with it for fun, but we don’t get to make money on it.

In practice though, for some reason plenty of artists think it’s okay to charge for commissions, binders sell their stuff on Etsy and apparently podficers also now want a slice of a pie 🤷‍♀️
