It sounds like her policy is based on reading a couple of bad fanfics and she is generalizing to all fanfics. And then the people in the comments are totally misinterpreting what fanfic actually is.

It's sad because I think fanfics are a way for fans to celebrate their love of a book or tv show or movie or whatever.

I've read Outlander and was going to read the rest of the series. But I think I'll pass on that. Outlander wasn't *that* good.
