Really? That's your number one worry? Then, my dear, you're in for a boatload of reality check, unless you already have an agent and a publisher lined up.

Here are the steps for your novel to get to what you fear most (if you're a first time writer - which you sound like - and don't have an aunt who's a well known agent/publisher):

Manuscript finished -> the gist sent as a query letter to agents -> query read by the agent (or the agent's secretary if the agent is a notable one) -> agent contacting you asking for the first 1/2/5 chapters -> agent contacting you again asking for the whole manuscript -> you and agent meeting and signing a contract -> agent shopping around for publisher -> publisher accepting manuscript, meeting with you and agent, signing contract -> book being published -> publisher able to negotiate shelf space for book at major book stores -> decent # of books being purchased and read by interested public -> people recommending the book through word of mouth and/or book getting popular through marketing -> fandom formation -> fandom getting big enough to merit bad fiction and cheesy porn.

Trust me, if you get to the point where people start to take your story apart you'd actually have so much success under your belt that you probably wouldn't care.

Seriously, once you get to the point where people actually give that much of a fuck, you'll probably be so busy you won't have time to care.
