I'm increasingly of the opinion that a not insignificant amount of prejudice due to fanfic is that it is an activity performed primarily by women. I actually suspect that the article author went out of their way to get anti-fanfic women for that very reason.
Somewhere I saw a list of published authors that are pro-fanfic. It was actually surprisingly long. I genuinely think that most fanfic resistance is because of what happened to Marion Zimmer Bradley--I really can't think of too much anti-fanfic stuff (aside from Rice) prior to her run-in with a fan, which was in 1992.
