I don't have any animosity towards fanfic, but the plain fact is most of it sucks like a black hole, and much of it is done against the wishes of the original writer.
The first means I am not going to be reading any of it because life is short, and I have thousands of books to read that don't suck like a black hole. The second means I'm not going to be reading any of it because I think writing fanfic when the original writer doesn't want you to is is not a nice thing to do. Respect that writer's work and opinion, and maybe others will respect your work and opinion.
But maybe the short answer to the question of , "What do you think of fanfic?" is, "I really don't."
