So where I'm at: I agree with you that there is a distinction between being in conversation with a text and being around solely because of that text. Publication law follows that to some extent, but isn't entirely congruent.
I think you are arguing that you are defining "fanfic" to mean "something that is not intended for publication and could not be published in its current state," because publication is a bright line and easy to draw and mostly congruent with the above more-murky definition. Is that what you are saying?
