... THAT IT'S ALL JUST FANFICTION AFTER ALL!?

This is a matter of simple respect and common courtesy.  Like saying
"Please" and "Thank You".  No major crime if they are omitted, but it
certainly makes the world a more pleasant place if you use them.

The same thing can be said about obtaining a fanfic author's permission.  No
large sin for not doing so, but it's certainly much more polite and
respectful.

That was very well put.
Thank you Richard.
