I guess it is quite opposite to what I know, doujins (fanfics) of anime characters are very popular in Japan. On the other hand, don’t think anybody is dare to sell fanfics of Disney characters.


You mostly see illegal pirated copies of those. There are series no one will touch (Nintendo or Doraemon), and series that people will sell at real life events but won't upload anywhere permanent or allow resale (mostly if it involves actual people, like bands or movies).

The series where they're open about it commercially like Touhou/Vocaloid have explicit rules for what's ok and what isn't though.
