A fanfic...is a fanfic...is a fan's...fic...right?  It's not for
anyone to even come close to say how much of a fic is his or hers. 
All we can get from writing is the acknowledgement that our efforts
to put those ideas in our heads into actual writen words was
appreciated...one way or another.

I think you're missing the point here.  A Fan's Fic is exactly that - 
fiction wirtten by a specific fan.  It is legally his/her work.  Now, 
whether that Fanfic breaches someone else's copyright is something 
else again entirely.

Now, I don't know about being MSTed.  I always see it as a give and
get relationship.  You give some of your ideas...eventually, the
response will come.  Bad or Good, you could always ignore it...at
least appreciate someone read it.  Readers that respond are so scare
nowadays, I sometimes wonder if those that constantly read my fics
ever realize that I need feedback too.

On the other hand if you ask not to be MST'd, people should respect 
your right.  If you have not stated so, on the other hand, then don't 
be surprised if somebody *does* MST your work.
