It's positively silly to apply the Active Franchise Rule to any anime or manga series, current or not.
Why? Because by and large, the Japanese authors and artists--and to a certain extent even their publishing companies--do not care about doujinshi and other fan works. In many cases, they read the stuff (Naoko Takeuchi has openly stated she enjoys Sailor Moon doujin, tho' I suspect she's not talking about the porno) or even participate in it themselves (Johji "Outlanders etc." Manabe has done at least one startlingly ecchi Dirty Pair manga).
There are whole conventions devoted to doujinshi in Japan, and do you see the cops or lawyers raising a fuss?
Do what y'like with OMG!, Bob. No one'll complain.
