Dear God, no! No one should have the right to earn money off your work without your permission, or act as if it's their right to change it. That's where most fanfic writers draw the line (except for the tiny minority who inevitably show up, act dishonestly, and spoil things for everyone else).
Granted, there are some who write fanfic because they don't like something the author did, and want to pretend to change it. But 1: they almost certainly wouldn't try and claim the right to do so officially, and 2: most fanfic writers are doing it because they love the original work and simply want to revisit it.
I can't imagine how someone would call you selfish for what you said. :)
