Wow. You are super entitled. You are also imputing motives to people that they may not possess. Maybe you don't give a shit about the legal issues, but you can bet your ass that if my publisher told me to take my fanfic down for legalities' sake, it would be gone. They haven't done so yet, and I don't know that they ever will, but this whole "fandom is a community" attitude" is a bit rich coming from a "community" who will turn on someone like rabid weasels if they quit pandering to them.

I've been involved in many fandoms for a good decade now and have never witnessed that which you just described. When authors choose to publish, more often than not they receive overwhelming encouragement from their fans. Those who don't encourage it--which is understandable and to be expected--usually hold their tongues. There are always a few crazies who say things like, "No!! Stick to fanfiction!!" but no one pays attention to them anyway.

The only time I've ever, ever encountered fans going "rabid" on an author is when that author removed their works from the internet with no warning and then requested that their works not be shared. So now it's almost impossible to get them anywhere because those who have it won't share 'em, because if they do they'll get virtually lynched.

So yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about.

If I had a publisher that told me that, I'd find a different publisher.

And if you've already signed their contract before they request you take down your fanfics, you'd be liable for breach of contract, there might be financial penalties, your manuscript would not be able to be submitted to other publishers for consideration, and you'd likely be blackballed anyway, because people in publishing know one another and nobody wants to work with a drama queen who's prone to flouncing on such a trivial matter.

Because everyone has 12 publishers at their beck and call and it isn't a once in a life time opportunity or anything. Jesus lawd!
