Publishing fanfic for non-profit?

I was wondering what, if any, are the rules to publishing fan-fiction? I've written two fanfic pieces and am in the midst of finalizing the third to the series and would love to publish it if I am allowed so I would like to go through the proper channels. I do not wish to make a profit, just to have permission for publication if it is allowable. So, is it permissible at all, what is or isn't allowed as far as the content is based, and most importantly who to contact, etc?

  • Speaking only as a fellow player, but based on previous experience and evidence (just Google "Dragon Age fan fic" for lots) there's no problem.

    Just be sure it's totally NON-COMMERCIAL. 😇

    Thank you for the speedy reply. I do have my fanfic publicly posted on AO3 and I know that is allowed. I was wondering more along the lines of hardcover publication from a site, for example, like lulu where it can be sold at cost production only with no profit taken for myself.
