For one thing, I think any author who hasn't heard of fanfiction has probably been living under a rock. If they have heard of it, and do not wish for their works to enter the scene, they should say so. It's just what George R.R. Martin did. He said he didn't approve of fanfction - and there's really very little of it (based on his works) to speak of.

It's a different case if they haven't heard of it altogether - I would suggest they go and explore the internet a bit more
