Quite apart from the fact that I agree with Harry, (but he's more eloquent about it) the court's view is that it
is illegal.
If you want to encourage intellectual theft, that's, as they say, your bag. But there's no doubt about what it is.
And some fanfiction writers ( whose endeavours only approach "creativity" by the back door, as all the true creation and hard work has already happened) might well be devoted, but it doesn't make them a writer's best customers - numbers alone don't support this.
And the stuff I've seen would have the opposite effect from making anyone eager to read the original works !
Finally, or is it me, ..............
" A lot of emotive words here. You are not living up to your own standard that you try to impose to others that is the standard not to use emotive words."............... Umm .......... what ?
If you like this genre, well, there you go. But please don't try to elevate it beyond, to be charitable, perhaps well-meaning plagiarism.
Admire and support those who create the original, not the passengers on the band-wagon.
