Regardless of actually having sex, it was bad enough when I thought it was only a disturbing relationship where none should exist. No thank you, I'll stay away from "romance fanfiction". As for the rest, well I've only read a few, years ago, of the "not as disturbing" kind. From what I remember, generally it was "things they SHOULD have did, because that last Star Trek movie SUCKED their way" or "I'm putting myself in there, because I don't like my real life, also in this world I'm the most powerful and cool being ever... like I always wanted to be, and everyone loves me except the enemy, but like, when the enemy dies by MY hand they will say I was cool".
I do enjoy 8 bit theater and bob and george, because they are comedy takes on it (though bob and george is trying a bit too hard to sorta be cool or something, the guy needs to stop worrying about plot holes, I don't CARE, it's comedy, plotholes only ADD to comedy*). But, as a general rule anyone who would go about trying to make some amazing story based on their favorite stuff without getting some sort of request from or approval from the owner of that thing, it sorta says something about that person's priorities, and the subsequent quality you can expect...
*Example: Bender: Me and this turtle also have that other thing in common...
Fry: What?
Bender: Well, when we fall on our backs we can't get up.
Fry: WHAAT?? I've seen you get up off your back plenty of times!
Bender: EVERY SINGLE ONE of those times I was slightly on my side.
Hermes: Let us test this erectile dysfunction of yours.
Edit: Oh yes, regarding the details of that one story Weltall described... um, I didn't need to know that, and also, I think whoever wrote that is a potential danger to society if they are writing THAT.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
