Fanfics may be the way of Satan, but expert writers doing Oddworld stuff might end up with something interesting, especially if a new story with the existing species is made. So my thoughts are really mixed, I think the most important elements must be created by OWI, the elements that define Oddworld; but that also other people might write interesting stuff with those elements.

At least you got it right. Fanfics were just an example of unofficial Oddworld texts (the only ones that happen to be available to use as an example at the moment), and now everyone's turned this into a discussion about how bad fanfics are.
Perhaps stray from the 'Fanfics are shit' discussion and have a look at what the Star Wars Expanded Universe or any other expanded universes of media series' actually entail.
Then you might see the possibility of an Oddworld EU. That way you can say 'No', but do it on the right grounds.
