I think an author can force someone to stop writing a fanfiction through legal action, like a cease and desist. Or just asking them nicely. I've heard of cases where some authors are adamant that writing fanfiction inflicts on their legal writes and try to discourage it by all means.
I agree with you though, if I were fortunate to have readers who liked my ideas enough to write about it, I would be honored and let them.
