worldserpent, you probably have already read this but just in case you haven't, Why all Fanfic Writers are Creative Parasites *rolls eyes* See, this is why I don't even bother getting into arguments like this anymore. If people don't get the reason why fans write fanfic or draws fanart there's no point in explaining.

(Actually, is this the guy you were telling me about awhile back? Lee Goldberg?)

[EDIT: He thinks fans are creative parasites with no talent, I think he's a complete dick, but hey let's share the love.]
