As long as you feel the same way about people who do parodies of copyrighted shows, covers of copyrighted songs, art of copyrighted series, or comics using copyrighted characters, you're not a hypocrite.

If you single fic out and are okay with the rest, you should ask yourself why.

There is an exception for parody under U.S. copyright law. But not all fics, fanart, etc. are parodies, and therefore not necessarily covered by that exception. OP may not be comfortable with that. Now, it would arguably be hypocritical to be okay with say, fanart that's not a parody, but not okay with fanfic that isn't a parody. Neither is legally covered, but historically, fandom has been much more comfortable with art than with fic. It's not entirely logical, but that's the way of things.

Covers of copyrighted songs are different, since the songwriters/copyright holders normally receive royalties for it.

Yep, and I think Weird Al even asks for clearance.
