Heh. I tend to catch quite a bit of flak from the folks in fandom on this issue. Obviously, fandom has a vested interest in casting all fanfic as essentially transformative, to bolster the fair use argument.
For now, I think the fact that fanfiction is largely not-for-profit is probably dispositive (to the extent that anything in a highly fact-specific multi-factor test can be dispositive).
