When a creator (usually writers, it seems) bans or restricts their fans from writing fanfic, drawing fanart, or generally using the author's work "creatively". You can buy the books, buy [[The Merch]] and read "officially sanctioned" material, but the hounds of hell will be unleashed should you write ''their'' characters into ''your'' story.
