I see two reasons someone would want to do an alternate version of a fight.

1) They think they could add a new spin on writing it. This could be as simple as including different items, having the location change, or as complicated as changing the incarnation of the characters used. Change a few small things and you can have a very different match.

2) They want to change the victor. As I understand it- this is the reason people are wary of as several members believe this will lead to "spite"- which, while not always the case, would probably happen yes.

But having a different outcome isn't "spite"- it's just thinking differently. "Spite" would be making the character die excessively without a good fight, or deliberately poking fun at the original reasoning. This is easily noticable by readers and the person can be warned to clean up their version. Failure to comply or multiple complaints would result in a short ban, just like vandalism and anything else.
