MODERATORS
The announcements of fan works are always to drum up more fans to contribute to the work. And honestly 99/100 it doesn't result in legal threats, it makes sense to do. Fan works don't get made in secret, in secret they get to version 0.01 and sit on one person's hard drive for a decade
Sometimes it's for personal advertising/resume padding.
