A tie-in is an authorized product that is based on an existing or upcoming media property, such as a movie or video/DVD, computer game, video game, television program/television series, board game, web site, role-playing game or literary property. Tie -ins are released primarily as a way of creating additional income from a property, but also as a means of promotion and increasing the public visibility and awareness of the property.
Tie-ins are authorized and approved by the owner of the property on which they are based, and some portion of the income flows back to the owner, often in the form of license fees or royalties.
Stories, novels, and other literary works produced by fans of the work, done without authorization and approval of the owners (often in technical violation of copyright and/or trademark law), and on a non-commercial basis are known as fan fiction or fanfic.
