The area in which we disagree, WritePR, is that of asking permission. I totally accept that fan fiction is harmless in the majority of cases, but it seems very wrong to me not to ask the permission of the right-holder. It's like, say, trespass. I'm probably not doing any harm if I walk across your land, but you probably wouldn't like me to do so without asking you for permission to do so in advance.
