I don't write very much fic, but when I do I write a character in a certain way because that's the interpretation of canon which feels truest or most satisfying to me. Which is also exactly what I'm hoping for when I read other people's stories - that I'll see an interpretation that feels true to me.
So if I saw somebody interpreting a character the same way I do - or even using specific ideas that I'd thrown into the melting pot in my own stuff - I'd just be thrilled to find somebody else who shares my kind of thinking.
I'd imagine most fanfic-lovers would feel that way. Because we're all playing in a shared sandbox, and enjoying the communal aspect of the fan economy.
