I know that the people I know who've read his stuff LOVE his stuff.
There are a handful of big authors who are anti-fanfic. AND 100% they are entitled to their opinion. You've probably heard me say this before... Sorry!

Payroll is done, Job slips are done, some vendors have been paid. Assistant left early for the first grade concert, but...
I've just seen some authors be so very wonderful about it. Find it flattering rather than intrusive. To be angry about it seems like you don't want imaginative readers. BUT....

Agreed. Aimee Carter, who writes YA books, tweeted the link when she found her first fanfic. AND READ IT. That's what I call wonderful. And I totally get not liking it, but getting upset over it? That seems a bit much.
Wonderful! I have lunch to eat and am not sure if I have anything sweet, but I just ordered myself a new phone so I'm calling that good. Have fun knitting!
