   @youronlyone its not a bad thing to have beliefs or opinions. sometimes though, the "what" of these things is more complicated.

   if you skip those and ask yourself "why" you think a b c d e are or are not fanfic, sometimes this simplifies things a lot.

     @youronlyone

     > Where do we draw the line?

     not at the license. it makes no sense for a work to magically cease to be "fanfic-able" the moment it enters the public domain. thats arbitrary. fanfic is only incidentally, not fundamentally, about copyright. licenses are about copyright. approval of a particular work is not.

     > Scenario #1: Author A dedicated their story to the Public Domain. Is it fan fiction if Author B uses that Public Domain work?

     yes.
