Oh, Come ON!
I'll put this behind a cut because I don't want to offend anyone.
Someone on one of my online groups/boards has complained that she ran into an apparently R or NC-17 fanfic (apparently, this was her first ever fanfic), and the fic disturbed her, because it "changed the 'soul of the show'" for her. She was appalled that someone would "us[e] these characters that for [her] are really special the way they are on TV" and she thinks we shouldn't "use" the characters for our fanfic. She also ragged on the people who said they liked the fic. *sighs*
Okay, granted, I can understand if she's not down with reading R or NC-17 fic. That's fine. Some people don't dig it. And I feel for her if that's the first thing she happened upon.
But to act like fic writers are violating her image of the show because they write fic? That's just silly.
Solution: Don't read fanfic if you don't like it.
