Respect is always a good thing, but the respect I offer in fieldwork and the respect I offer in non-research relationships aren't the same, especially since fieldwork is more likely to involve getting to know people for the purpose of research -- they might not be people you'd be friends with otherwise. Which isn't to say you're just there to milk them for information, either . . . but I think you can follow what I mean.
It doesn't look like people are going to chime in with specific anecdotes here, so our evidence base is going to remain vague. I didn't want to bring you up specifically without knowing how you'd feel about that, and the only other instance that springs clearly to mind for me at the moment happened in a weird tangential way on the topic of SFWA membership requirements, when somebody jumped on me because a comment I made wandered too close to an argument she'd had elsewhere, with somebody else, in the recent past. (We cleared up the misunderstanding, fortunately.)
My only bias against your fanfic is that time you spend writing Dr. Who smut is time you don't spend on the City of Light and Shadow, and that means I have to wait longer for the latter. ^_^
