I write it. Not sure if I "love" it. I certainly don't hate it. It's an outlet for me mostly. I love to write but I'm too damn lazy to come up with an original world to write in. So, fanfic is a nice middle ground. Fully formed characters running around in worlds I enjoy already. I guess it's sort of a necessity then. I always try to get away with writing at work. It helps the day to go by faster. :-)
As for reading it, hey, that's fun, too. People are always coming up with stories that can't be explored or don't get explored in the source material. That's the cool thing about fanfic. It's a forum. People can write whatever they want.
I really don't get the professional authors who say, "Hey, don't write fanfic set in my fandom!" If no one is profiting from it, then what's the harm? But that's just me.
