I know of only one"fan" work based on something I've written, and it's based on a draft and is now terribly obsolete. It rather flattered me. I think right now my take on hypothetical fanworks is about where yours is, including the respect-the-author's-wishes bit. I'm generally less attached to my characters, but I think if I don't have to read it, I really don't care.
All this could change if fanworks actually appeared, though, and I try to keep that in mind as well. :-p
This was a pointless response to a thoughtful post, I'm afraid...
