I totally agree with you. I think sticking to the source can be very limiting, so it's hard to really do anything different or make it your own. Sometimes that's why I read fanfiction. I like taking things in a different direction or introducing new characters and seeing where I go with it - that's part of the fun of writing.
And that sucks you were harassed, I'm sorry that happened to you. That's just... wrong.
It just seems that people arent that understanding anymore unfortunately. Writing is about being creative not being limited, even with fanfiction.
