I refuse to apologise for writing fan-fiction. Hollywood writers are often not the originators anyway. They probably also often switch writers between films, seasons, or individual episodes, to get different perspectives and materials.
The bible had a lot of fanfic as did Aesop's fables and the Greek mythology.
Even the Epic of Gilgamesh was spiced up in the course of time.
