I know I'm late to the party, but I just had to stop by and respectfully disagree with your opinion.

It's the "ultimately belongs to them" that I take issue with. Because yes, works of fiction, works of art, whatever, belong to their original author/artist. Copyright wise.

When you share your story, which is an IDEA...you can't control the way people respond to it. It's not your JOB to police the way people react to or think about your art. You lose all right to having your characters interpreted the way you intended them to be interpreted the moment you put the story out for mass consumption. Because everybody is different, and will be bringing their past experiences and emotional baggage with them upon reading your story, which colors their interpretation.

Essentially, authorial intent means very little in the long run. And since fanfic isn't for profit, fanfic writers aren't actually damaging anything an author has done. Writing a fic where A and B fuck like rabbits doesn't erase the existence of a canon where A and B are platonic life partners who aren't even remotely sexually attracted to one another. So there is no harm done. You can't be the thought police. People are going to think what they want to think, regardless of what YOU think about it.
