I just wanted to express my thanks to you for writing this out - I have worked for lawyers in the past and perhaps that's part of the reason for my "not panicking until I see the whites of their lawyers' eyes" attitude, but I also think it's partially common sense.
These corporations have a lot more at stake than we little people do, and let's face it - they ultimately only care about the bottom line. As much as they might think that fanfiction and/or slash threatens their product, calling further attention to either by bringing about a major lawsuit would be far more damaging in the long run.
All the same, again, it's good to hear from someone who has had actual legal experience in similar matters. Thank you.
