Fan fiction is when a copywritten property is used as the basis for an unofficial written work by someone without license; specially for communal enjoyment. That is fanfic. Shakespeare is not fanfic because he was not writing off copywritten properties he was basing his works off common tales or historical events. Biopic are non fanfic because they are licensed/based on historical figures not fictional tales. If I wrote a new age cinderella story it would not be fanfic because I am working off the folk tale. The 2015 cinderella live action is not fanfic because it WAS licensed. The Bible and Greek mythology are not fanfic because they are Religious Texts. None of this is hard to understand
