I can't even imagine how it would be possible to create fanwork for something you dislike or disparage in general. I mean...does the person just desperately love a couple of characters and create the work about them and...but again, how would you do that? Because those characters don't exist in a vacuum - all of the stuff that's wrapped up in the execution of the show affects them and (you would think, anyway) would have to be used to make the fanwork specifically about that show...
Hum. Conundrum.
But as far as why bother creating the fanwork. Could it be one of those "I can do it better" mentalities? Coming not from a place of fondness or love, but from a place of ego?
(Also, am v. glad that whatever you stumbled across didn't show up on my flist. Have had it with people who slag off Teyla, and John for that matter. *stranglehands*)
