Obviously, fan fiction cannot be copyrighted or sold because it’s a derivative work of licensed content. I know all of the legal bits regarding the direct profit from the work itself.

But are there any other methods for generating even a little money? Is begging for Patreon or some other tip service the only option?

    so there’s three methods i’m aware of:

    1. patreon, or some other similar scheme, as you said
    2. use a following from writing fanfic to promote other, non-fanfic, work
    3. take commissions from individuals
