I really like the frame of “fanfiction of your idea”, I think it helpfully undermines the implicit status-thing of “I will steelman your views because your version is bad and I can state your views better than you can.”
Yeah. Note that, in my culture, people can write fanfiction for media that they’re not the biggest fans of. Like, they might see a core of a thing they like, and hate a lot of the rest, and still write a fic because they really want to explore that thing they liked more. Or they might really like it, but are adapting it because they like it so much they want to play with it!
