  Current topic and copyright question

As you are no doubt aware, the current IRTC topic is "A scene from your
favorite mystery story, or anything else recognizably mysterious or
enigmatic."  Lets say your favourite mystery story is still protected under
copyright laws, ie, anything written in the last few decades at least.
Would reproducing a scene from such a work be a violation of it's copyright?
How about the instance of taking a character from an existing work and
putting them in a mysterious context, eg "Detective Chewbacca"?  Is fan art
a violation of copyright?

Sorry to bring up copyright issues, but the last thing I would want to do is
violate the copyright on someone elses work.

Thanks,
