When an author agrees with HarryT about fanfic, most fan ficcers respect that and don't write (or at least publish) in that universe. A lot of authors see the fan fic as the homage it is, and don't mind... but are careful themselves not to read any of the fan fic least they inadvertantly steal an idea from the fic. (Wasn't there an issue with Marion Zimmer Bradley about that?)
