Some have made a big deal out of it and it has come back to bite them in the butt with the backlash.

My high functioning autistic daughter has been writing fan fiction from one of her favorite anime movies on a fan fiction website. She's only been doing it for the joy of paying homage to characters she has fallen in love with. She gets bliss and it makes her day when someone clicks "like" or favorites her or follows her story.
