Re: question
Are you using their characters, (fictional) places, and plot history?
As I understand the term, it's not true fanfiction unless you're using the original characters. Otherwise, it's just borrowed concepts. For instance, I do not consider my story, "The Jagged Gate" to be fanfiction, even though I borrowed concepts from two different TV shows (JAG and Stargate SG-1, hence the name of the story...) I did not use actual characters, nor their histories, just the basic concept of the shows.
Anyway, this is my opinion. I'm not sure there's anyone setting a standard for what is and is not fanfiction, and I imagine if you ask ten people, you'll get ten different answers...
But mine will still be the right one. 
just kidding.
