This is so dumb, because fanfic does jack shit to change the original author's IP ownership. People can write all the Good Omens fic they want, but I assure you, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's estate still very much do own the copyright. The massive volume of MCU fic affects Disney/Marvel's ownership of that property exactly squat, zilch, not at all.

The original canon is unaffected by any fanwork. No amount of hobbit-on-dragon action in fanwork is going to retroactively insert dragonfucking scenes into every copy of The Hobbit that exists.

AO3 exists in part to argue the case that transformative fanworks fall under Fair Use, which includes parodies and some other types of retellings. Authors could still throw a hissy and try to C&D if they wanted to, but most of them understand that's really bad PR and will probably cost you readers and sales. Most media-savvy authors these days, especially in SFF, understand that fanfic and fanart is actually a good form of word of mouth advertising.
