That is solved with different degrees of copyright. If done right, the author's works will never stop being theirs, but people will be able to make fanfiction without fear of a bloodthirsty copyright lawyer biting at their necks. They'd just have to clearly indicate it's fanfic, and the original author could get a cut of any earnings past a threshold.
Create a great work that inspires another great work; both authors benefit.
