AIC has probably the most lenient rules about using their material
among all the anime studios out there.

For example, Gainax doesn't allow the use of ANYTHING except a very small
selection (about 30 or 50) of images.

AIC only forbids high-quality music samples and movies. Actually, they
even offer most of these on their own webpage instead.

No. That'd be very stupid indeed. I haven't heard of any studio taking
any form of action against fanfictions.
