I don't quite see how it's creepy. One can still say that an author is a crap author, that their works are bad, that there are areas the works fail in - or what would reviewers do? I get how fanfic can work and serve as useful analysis (it was one of the main reasons I used to write it, after all).

While I do believe in Death Of The Author to a large extent - people can interpret things however they want, especially if those interpretations are due to the author's own failings in their writing - as long as there's actual evidence for that interpretation - I am also very aware that there is (or was at one point) someone out there producing the media I consume, with thoughts and feelings of their own.

Someone in the thread took my comments as saying that I think fanfiction is morally wrong. Here's the thing: I do. It's the closest thing other than plagiarism to actually stealing ideas. The way I see it, people have the right to have the final say over things that originated in their head and that they've sweated to make. I don't get what's so wrong with that.
