I honestly don't really care too much about that? I am one of those people who prefer to separate out how they feel about the author and how they feel about the author's works, if you get what I mean. I certainly don't mind the find-replace name former fanfic aspect since the fanfic was an AU one to begin with, and one of my ACTUAL favourite novels that I genuinely love, Trace by Sam Starbuck, started similarly as a White Collar magical realism prison AU. That one is actually well written though.

I actually have a far bigger issue with works that just copy genres and setups entirely even if they are original than works that are adapted fanfic. Let's say someone does a zombie novel and it's super good, then someone else does a zombie novel in the exact same vein that's mostly paraphrased but isn't 'fanfic' because it's new characters! Copycat novels, basically, those I have a huge beef with and do not like. But the core of Twilight isn't really much like 50 Shades and vice versa, so that's no biggie to me.

And for behaviour, I'm the same as that as I am at Orson Scott Card. I don't have to like them to enjoy reading what they write, and I don't like them more because I enjoyed what they write. If I like a piece of work, it's because of what it's about and how it's written and not who did it.
