How could it be anything but love? I mean, even when we're pissed because the creators "got it wrong" in our opinion, we're only pissed because we love what they did.
And ya know, IMO, if they'd just put more sex on television, I wouldn't have to write so much fic. Heee!
OK, sorry, seriously, I think fic is an expression of desire and affection. A willingness to engage the characters, to think about them and dream about them, and to make the creator's world come to life in our imagination.
That's praise of the highest sort.
Oh, I know, there are creators who don't think so. It's just, well... if we're not making money off it, and we're spreading the influence of their words and their worlds...why have such a high ownership quotient? Don't we write for the readers?
