In some cases, you could. Especially if your actions lead to financial loss for the owner of the fictional characters or if it violates legal rights associated with them. So, it's best to be cautious and respectful.
Well, it depends. If your making fun of the characters crosses a certain line and infringes on copyright or causes defamation, then yes, you could get sued. But if it's just lighthearted and within reasonable limits, probably not.

Mostly not. Fictional stories are creations of the imagination. But if your fictional story uses someone else's unique and copyrighted ideas without permission, like a very specific plot device from another book, the copyright holder could sue.

Yes, you can get sued for fanfiction. Fanfiction often uses existing characters, settings, or storylines from copyrighted works.

It depends. If the story you are sharing is your own original creation and doesn't violate anyone's rights, then no, you probably won't get sued.

It depends. In some cases, if the fan fiction violates copyright laws or is used for commercial gain without permission, there's a risk of being sued. However, if it's non-commercial and doesn't significantly harm the original work, the chances might be lower.
Well, fiction writers can get sued, but it usually happens when there are issues like plagiarism, defamation, or violating someone's rights. Not all writers face this though. It depends on various factors.
Definitely not. Sharks manga often have their own charm and value. There's no reason to make fun of them. Maybe you misunderstood something.
Yes, you can. If the characters are too similar and it's clear that there's copying involved, it could lead to a lawsuit for copyright infringement.
