Robin Hobb has an essay on what she hates about fanfic. I've seen a few discussions of it--here's a major one.
If I (re)read any of Hobb's fiction, I'm definitely checking for control issues--I can understand being offended at characters being fanficked into activities which are wildly out of character and/or undignified, but Hobb even hates it when a scene she's chosen not to put in the novel gets written up.
Does Laurel Hamilton fanfic consist of horror/mystery stories with no sex?
