@OP:
The distinction is that fan fiction is derivative of someone else's work. You aren't working with original characters you created yourself, or with original worlds. The work of the original authors serves as a framework for fan fiction. You can introduce some original ideas and characters, but as long as the world and part of the cast of the original work serves as a framework and it's not explicity recognized by the creators of the original work as part of their extended universe, it's fan fiction.

That does not, however, detract from its "validity". Stories are stories, regardless of how they came to be, and a good story isn't less good just because it happens to be fan fiction. In fact, I'd say there is some fan fiction better than the original work (in storytelling) specifically with regard to game universes, because of the limitations of commercial in-game presentation which written fiction isn't subject to.

So for example, 007: Skyfall is fan-fiction?

Look on bolded part.

In case of Skyfall Ian Fleming did this when he sold his rights to movie company and create basis for legal continuation of story. Thanks to this are new Bond movies continuation of original work and part of official universe, same as books from authors chosen by owners of rights like Gadner or Deaver.

Very well-put.  Sums it up perfectly.  If the OP can't understand it as you've so elegantly spelled it out, then he's either being purposely dense to wind us all up, or he's legitimately stupid.
