Me and a group of people were having a Discord conversation earlier about this and I wanted to ask: Is it possible to monetize a fan comic, and if so, to what degree of separation from the source material? Is it okay if it doesn't contain the characters only or if it includes Sburb or what? I have seen Homestuck fan merch floating around so it's not like that's disallowed, so I wonder why it's different for fan adventures (including ones that don't contain any actual Homestuck characters)
I think it's also important to ask about other types of projects being monetized. Like I don't think Promstuck has a license but they got away with both selling merch and theming an event based on it. Does it come down to just using assets from the comic? That would make sense, but it kind of isn't consistent. Help me out here.
You're pretty sure JADE HARLEY said that.
