I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I find both fanfic and celebrity based stories to be a major turnoff. Celebrity based stuff smacks of super market tabloids, while fanfic seems downright parasitic (parodies excepted). I prefer stories where the author creates his own characters. Just my opinion.

Would your story work at all with randomly named characters (Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice, etc.)?
