Does this count as fanfiction?

So I actually wrote a series about characters that were of comparable size and powers to the Disney Fairies franchise and even added in one tidbit from the original Peter Pan, but those are pretty much all the similarities I've found, but there are quite a few differences:


Disney Fairies
My Characters

No wings, no flight
Most can fly wingless

Pixie/Fairy Dust needed for magic
Magical dust won't attach, ergo can't use it

Cannot swim until wingless
Almost no one has wings, so swimming's no big deal

Average height 127 mm
Males, 13 cm, females, 12 cm on average for main species

Human children can see them
Almost completely invisible to humans

One talent per person (usually)
Some talents learnable, some earnable

Only one emotion at a time at times
Room for many emotions regardless of size

Seasonal changes on the Mainland
Human realms for very special missions only

Predators disobey Animal Fairies
Even predators are cared for by the Animal Specialists

Scouts not required to swim
Swimming is a Scout prerequisite because, rescues


Based on these differences (ten per column), does this count as fanfiction?

Do these also count because I found more differences:

Disney Fairies
My Characters

All beings that look humanoid are small except humans and some Mainland fairies
No humans live there, but some folks are big, some small

Incompletion not common, but exists as does overcompletion; still doesn't count as a disability
Those unable to walk are unable to fly either, mentions incompletion, but only for lack of skills; some lack speech, hearing, the ability to walk, see, etc. Disabilities a bit more common.

Happy with their size from chubby to trim
There is a little more fluctuation with size, mainly to improve health, but still pretty fine with their size. A few far too thin to be trim

Scouts, Harvesters, Kitchen and Animal Talents tend to have the keenest noses
Comparable, but a few have even stronger noses than even the keenest guild on average, while others have rather weak noses

"I'd fly backwards" is an apology used, but "Sorry" works too
"I'd trek across the Sands of Time" or comparable more likely for serious issues, otherwise, "Sorry" is used.

Weather fairies mainly monitor the weather and some create either thunder or lightning, known as Storm fairies
The Weather guild includes, but doesn't limit to Meteorology, creating storms or taming clouds to let the sun shine. Not responsible for season change where the humans live, only their home realms.

Mainland or Neverland are where fairies are found
Neither realm is mentioned by name except by specie, then sometimes they have to relocate if the realm is far too unsafe to remain put

Calls humans either humans or Clumsies
Humans are humans are humans... are humans

They hate mincemeat because, taste of spoilt broccoli and unwashed socks and an equally foul smell, but they won't eat meat period
More herbivorous as they aren't as keen to eat dairy or eggs, but definitely can't eat meat. Some are carnephobic (afraid of meat)

Matriarchy or monarchy (led by a mother or queen in this case)
Oligarchy or gerontocracy (ruled by a few of the eldest)

PiratesLacks pirates in their realm

Native American humans
Some are of Native American descent, but they aren't humans



I still research some aspects outside anything related to Pixie Hollow, even names.
