Yes, pastiche! I totally forgot pastiche, but I shouldn't have. I've done that one too.
If you're a member of a fan community--well, the pastiche isn't sellable, but it might be something you can post and other fans will appreciate, especially a certain sort of pastiche. And there are ways to do pastiche that are salable--especially when they're imitating people who are in public domain, like, say, Lovecraft. But generally, yeah, not publishable.

But very rewarding!
