Much depends on how we define "fanfiction".

Fanfiction proper is fiction written by a fan as a way of
enjoying the original work.

When a work is really good, one thinks about it afterward.

At the end of _Dark Lord's Daughter_ it is obvious that by
the time the daughter finds a way to send her mother home,
it will be a shopping trip and the mother will return to her
duties in the castle.  As I was falling asleep that night, I
pondered long on what she would buy and where she would get
the money.  Would she still have access to her bank account?
How much money was in her purse?

A fan ficcer would have made a story out of that.  Sharing
the story with friends would have been closely akin to
discussions that take place on this newsgroup.
