Yeah, you should probably take the 9 minutes to watch the entire vid before diagnosing her with some sort of psychosis :P

My own reasons for not reading Anne Rice would be that - other than Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat - she doesn't write particularly good books. The argument given in the vid is essentially that the wishes and boundaries of creators should be respected. Someone whose love of something is often expressed through writing and creation - to engage and interact with, rather than simply consume - might be too tempted to cross those boundaries, and hence the reason to completely avoid the temptation.

Fanfiction rarely has anything to do with the simple desire to copy what we read (or watch), just as it rarely has anything to do with being too lazy to write your own stuff. Mostly, at its most basic level, it has to do with love. Understanding that is fundamental to understanding why people write it.
