500+ fics into the Tolkien fandom, I better love it...
I think it's great for people who want to write, and want to share, but don't want to worry about people stealing their original characters or worlds. (I had a play stolen from me once, it's not a happy thing to deal with.) So I like the 'safety' of fanfiction, and, since I have no plans to be a professional writer, it's all good.
Besides, some people do end up professionally writing about characters other people created (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen; Fables).
