Fan art may, depending on the situation, not actually be a copyright violation. Some cases, such as the now infamous Penny-Arcade "Strawberry Shortcake" image, are quite firmly in the realm of satire and thus may be considered protected speech.

[edit] Linkspam

Removed a half-dozen links. Anything for a single fandom is probably not notable. Honestly, I'd be surprised if half of what's left is notable.  –Aponar Kestrel (talk) 05:22, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

This image is more of a parody, and not an example of fanart. I think that Image:The Simpsons Fan Art.jpg would be more appropriate, as it features slightly altered well-known characters, who are recognised easily but it is clearly seen that they are drawn in a different style.--Orthologist 13:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
