It seems to me that fan-written stories about other people's characters behaving basically in ways compatible with canon could be called "fanfic".
Does it need a more specific label? What is it being distinguished from?
Sexual behavior outside of canon is being defined here as "slash", which suits me well enough (I don't read either much at all, so I probably don't really get a vote, but I'm a categories freak).
The obvious other category is stories that take some *non-sexual* aspect of the characters wildly outside canon. One way this happens, of course, is "bad writing". Does it happen deliberately and successfully often enough to need its own label? It could be called -slash; if it's about characters with major food issues, and that's the piece you're taking wildly outside canon, then it could be food-slash. But maybe there isn't enough of it to need a label.
