Welcome to /r/TransFormativeWorks!
Just so we're all clear, the Definition of Transformative Works:
Transformative works are creative works about characters or settings created by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creators. Transformative works include but are not limited to fanfiction, real person fiction, fan vids, and graphics. A transformative use is one that, in the words of the U.S. Supreme Court, "adds something new, with a further purpose or different character, altering the source with new expression, meaning, or message."
