I've read a couple of books in the last few years that ARE fanfic. Dead but not Forgotten is various professional authors writing stories in Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stack house universe and there's another that was authors writing for Larry Correia's Monster Hunter International series. The fanfic actually got me into his books because Jim Butcher wrote one of the stories.
I don't think I've ever regretted being a part of a fandom . . .
One bad experience was participating in an LDWS competition, I don't even remember which one, but NC-17 fics were not allowed. Someone wrote a fic including explicit bestiality and rated it "G". o.O
I don't care what people read or write, to each their own, but this was a clear violation of the rules and pointed it out, which created way more drama than I had ever imagined. I mean the person could have changed the rating to R and been fine but no way was that drabble G-rated.
I was very late to the party with Firefly, too, and wish I had been part of that fandom in its heyday. That would have been fun.
