Fan fiction is basically illegal, or at best in a deeply gray area, it's just that most people realize suing your super-fans is a bad move. There are exceptions of course, Anne Rice was famously super litigious over any attempted fan fiction of her characters which generated a lot of bad feelings online.

Paramount suing Star Trek fan productions is another great example. They recently took down the Wolf 359 audio book project for example.
