    Much depends on how we define "fanfiction".

    Fanfiction proper is fiction written by a fan as a way of
    enjoying the original work.

    When a work is really good, one thinks about it afterward.

    At the end of _Dark Lord's Daughter_ it is obvious that by
    the time the daughter finds a way to send her mother home,
    it will be a shopping trip and the mother will return to her
    duties in the castle. As I was falling asleep that night, I
    pondered long on what she would buy and where she would get
    the money. Would she still have access to her bank account?
    How much money was in her purse?

    A fan ficcer would have made a story out of that. Sharing
    the story with friends would have been closely akin to
    discussions that take place on this newsgroup.
