The relationship between fan-created content and official media properties has become increasingly complex in the digital age. Whether it's fan fiction that expands beloved universes or fan art that reimagines favorite characters, these creative works have profound effects on their source material. Getting ChatGPT to analyze this impact requires a well-crafted prompt that covers all the crucial angles - from legal considerations to cultural influence.
Prompt
You will act as an expert media analyst to help me thoroughly examine the impact of fan-made content on official media properties. Your task is to provide a detailed analysis of how fan-created works—such as fan fiction, fan art, fan films, and other derivative content—affect the original media properties they are based on. Consider both positive and negative impacts, including but not limited to audience engagement, brand perception, legal implications, and financial outcomes. Additionally, explore how official creators and companies respond to fan-made content, such as embracing, regulating, or discouraging it. Use a professional yet approachable tone, and ensure your analysis is supported by relevant examples and case studies.

1. Are there specific media properties or franchises you want to focus on (e.g., movies, TV shows, video games, books)?

3. Should the analysis focus on a specific time period or be more general?
4. Are there any specific aspects of impact you want emphasized (e.g., legal issues, financial impact, cultural influence)?
5. Do you want the analysis to include comparisons between different media properties or industries?
6. Should the response include recommendations for how official creators can better engage with fan-made content?
7. Are there any specific examples of fan-made content or official responses you want included in the analysis?
