*blink* How on earth is fanfic immoral? It's difficult to even argue it's illegal - people use fictional characters in other fictional works constantly. Fanfic or otherwise. And people use non-fictional or mythological characters constantly, such as Greek gods, presidents, kings, etc. I'm really not all that aware of what OTW is up to lately, but maybe they'd have more info on the legalities of fanfic-writing.
Fuck her. I hope she barfs a lot and destroys her esophagus.
In my opinion it's incredibly stupid of an author to denounce fanfic based on their work or their characters. Fanfic can keep a series popular that would have died forever ago. And if you say fanfic's illegal, what about meta? What about artwork based on someone else's characters? What about songs written about the characters? People do that all the time, both for fandom purposes and professional purposes (e.g., the 9,000 songs mentioning comics superheroes by name or deeds).
