"Honestly, though, it's about more than money or whether I ever even see the stuff -- it's the fact that when someone else writes without permission about characters that are still very much a part of my life, it feels a lot like having someone sleep with my husband, or rather more like having someone sneak up behind him and stick a finger up his butt. They may mean it in a flattering way (because he does have a cute butt), and I may not have to look at it, but that doesn't make me feel a whole lot better, and it's not something I am ever going to get used to."

Well. It sounds like he knows he can't stop it and won't stop it, but that is some Anne McCaffrey level of misunderstanding there.

Naw, if it were Anne McCaffrey she'd be talking about tent pegs up her husband's butt.

Well, the author's not exactly the poster child for mental stability. Before anyone loses their shit, I am NOT talking about being trans.

He recanted this and apologized years ago, though. http://fanlore.org/wiki/Professional_Author_Fanfic_Policies

sa

"...this would probably be a good time to mention that I used to be anti-fanfic (and personally squicked by the idea of people writing about my characters), but no longer am... people being inspired by your characters and wanting to play in your world is a pretty goddamn luxurious "problem" to have. It doesn't matter, it doesn't do harm, and the loss-of-copyright bugaboos that scared a bunch of authors (including me) some years back appear to have been inaccurately reported and (probably) wildly exaggerated. So I hereby apologize to everyone I've ever been a douchenozzle to about fanfic.

Hey that's pretty awesome that he came around and apologized for it. Especially considering there are some people who still hold on to their bias.

Good for him.
