Literature
The All persons fictitious disclaimer is a standard disclaimer used in works of fiction in an attempt to avoid liability for defamation.
In the case of fanfiction, the author will usually give a disclaimer saying that the author of the fanfiction does not, in any way, profit from the story and that all creative rights to the characters belong to their original creator(s).
