I haven't read much fanfiction apart from Stargate, but there have been times where it's pretty blatant that the writer wants to write about emotions the characters would never have.
I like whumping, but some of the Daniel torture is very out of character.
I actually have a theory about how reading certain types of fic ends up ruining watching the show, because what you get is not what you read, and you get frustrated exactly because they don't met the expectations.
That said, there are fics that add, because they keep the characterisation and expand it, which makes the viewing experience richer. But at least in Gen SG-1 that kind of fics aren't common anymore. :(
