Most fan fiction would be illegal to make money off of, since it\'s based on commercial intellectual properties. However, does a fan fic still count as recursive if it\'s based on a commercial property that is itself based on something in the PublicDomain? For example, one could argue that shows like {{Series/Merlin}} and Series/Sherlock are fan fiction even if the owners of those shows can and do make money off them, so if I wrote a \'\'Merlin\'\' fan fic without the involvement of that show\'s creators or owners, would it count as a recursive fic? Or would the fact that that \'\'Merlin\'\' is a commercial property mean that a fan fic based off my \'\'Merlin\'\' fan fic is a recursive fic but my own \'\'Merlin\'\' fan fic isn\'t recursive?
