...okay, this might be kind of a weird question...

…but you know how when Fighting is Magic got C&D’d, Faust offered Mane6 some original character concepts for a game that, on paper, sounds like Fighting is Magic with different sprites? (At least, that was my understanding, if a little oversimplified…)
 
So, what I’m getting at is, does anybody make art or fics that aren’t so much fanart or fanfics as they are just inspired by or loosely based on the source material?
