And all the major Pubs establish new departments to scour FanFiction.net for the next big thing.
Truthfully this makes me a little uncomfortable as a reader of Fan Fiction. There has always been an agreement, tacit or explicit, that the "characters are borrowed for non-commercial purposes." Because of that, copyright holders largely turn a blind eye toward protesting the Fan Fiction community utilizing their product. Too much of this and I think authors and Publishers will become much less understanding about Fan Fiction authors taking existing characters and worlds for unauthorized use.
