Fanfic
Short for the expression "fan fiction", fanfics are stories written by fans based on a pre-existing property, but has no real impact on it's continuum. Often these are written as alternate story lines or sequels, but nothing is off limits. Just like with any fan made projects, fanfics are not limited to just anime, anything is fair game. The internet age brought on the largest surge of fanfics as it created a fast and easy way to both write and share works.
Similarly, "fan art" refers to art created by fans but based on a pre-existing preoperty. Any art created by an artist not attached to the property in question in fan art. Many professional artists create fan art based on properties of which they are fans, for example Koge Donbo has created a wide array of Harry Potter fan art.

Katanagatari DVD/Blu-Ray 1
A saga that can be as maddening as it is fascinating—but this flawed work is still an ambitious one, and for that Katanagatari deserves credit.
Transformers: The Headmasters DVD
All but requires your being familiar with the ins and outs of the Autobots and Decepticons of the 1980s to get the most from the show, but any fan of vintage mecha with some time on their hands will surely get plenty of kicks out of this set.

Arakawa Under the Bridge DVD/Blu-Ray
You can't really resent a show for calculatedly bizarre behavior when you keep falling in love with the people who are doing it. Or when they keep cracking you up.
Kamisama Kiss GN 3
Nanami proves to be a much stronger heroine than Sakurakoji's Misao, never giving in to her distress and actively attempting to come to her own rescue. It is unlikely that this similarity is deliberate, but shoujo readers who are fed up with Black Bird may find solace here.
