Morphology
The meaning 'a story created by fans using existing characters or settings' is directly and compositionally derived from 'fan' (an admirer) + 'fiction' (an imagined story). This noun–noun compound follows a common and productive pattern that is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The term fan fiction comes from ordinary fans writing their own fiction about characters they love, so imagine a reader at a desk writing a new scene. That's why 'fan fiction' means 'a story made by fans using characters or settings from existing books, movies, or shows'.
