(Anonymous) 2012-06-15 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)I was put in the position of someone wanting to write fanfic - about my fanfic! They adored the original characters I brought into the narrative and wanted to do something with them. I gave them my permission because I thought it was awesome (and it WAS awesome) that someone wanted to do something like that.
Then I read the fic.
It was not bad. It was well written, the characters - MY characters - were in character but it felt so strange and creepy and wrong to see someone else pulling the strings that it wigged me out something fierce. I never told the person, because the fic was good, but it changed my perspective.
All that being said, I think it's ridiculous to outright ban it. People love to engage with their chosen fandoms. There's no rule out there that says the creator needs to read, acknowledge, or even pretend to LIKE that there is fanfic of their creations, but without it they are crippling some of the potential of the fanbase to expand.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-16 04:40 am (UTC)(link)For me it's loss of control. A few people have contacted me about doing fanart or translating my fanfics into other languages. I always--ALWAYS--hesitate. I think about it for a bit, but then I usually say yes because I didn't create the original ideas, so why the hell should I stop someone? BUT, I always ask for a link to the work in the end.
If I was a published author, I'd probably be okay with it, but take on a JKR-esque stance. (but I'd always be in the fandom, on some anon or decoy blog, saying "BUT NOOOOOO THAT'S NOT HOW THE AUTHOR INTENDED IT!!!" I'd just be That Annoying Fan Everyone Hates XD)
