No, of course the fans don't own it in any technical or legal way; That much should be obvious. But those kind distinctions are about money. What's ridiculous is creators trying to dictate how the public thinks about whatever it is they've created. The simple fact is you can't stop people from thinking "that part never happened" or "so-and-so is gay" and trying to do so is futile. There are many perfectly valid schools of criticism that don't take the author's views into account at all. When you turn a creative work over to the public you don't give up ownership, but you do give up a certain amount of control.

You own your opinions on said thing, yes. Having an opinion on something is one thing, that's always going to happen. That's why publishing requires some thick skin. Everyone is going to have a different view on your work and some might hate it.

But you will never own the characters, not ever. Not yours.
An author is perfectly within their rights to tell you: not in my sandbox, no you don't, not allowed. They can tell you, no Fan-Fiction, please. And they are well within their rights.
