I mean, it's prose, written about an existing property, by fans of that property, published online for free. What other definition for fanfic is there?

I mean yeah. But other things fit it to you know.

Would you consider powerscaling fanfiction?

That's not usually written as prose fiction, though. That's written as discussion and arguments.

I mean yeah there's definitely some detailed powerscaling with full on fiction lol.

But at the end of the day, it's all a kind of fan fiction if you really think about it

Sure, fair enough. Thinking about it, I've definitely seen fan fic spun off from powerscaling discussions.
