Although we have to admit that it's a bit hypocritical, seeing as we write fanfiction and the original creators don't have any say in it.
Well, there is always that. :-P
For myself, I'd respectfully disagree. Granted, I've been lucky in my fandom relations, but overall, I am, and will remain, flattered when someone is affected enough by my fic, whether fan- or orig-, to want to write more, or to borrow orig. characters, etc.. Even if it's not written to the standard I'd prefer. Ymmv. And 'tis kyool that it does, etc. :-)
Thank'ee's for a well-written look at the majority opinion. Good to know, etc. :-)
