Yeah, agreed. I mean, that sort of thing isn't what fanfic is about, by and large. There are other types which copy the source material to any relevant degree, e.g. rewritings of specific canon scenes from another character's point of view, which may quote actual canon dialogue and is essentially rewriting a particular part of the original, but again, that's also just a rather small part of fanfic.
I was a bit surprised by the pastiche thing, actually - with US copyright law, I've only ever seen the mentions of parody, and parody seems to be quite a bit more specific / more narrowly definable than pastiche.
