Personally my stance on it is the old "power corrupts" cliche. It's a personality thing, not a mystical one, which is why certain Jedi can live their entire lives without succumbing to the Dark Side, some fall almost immediately, and some realize both sides are rediculous and go live in a cave as Grey Jedi.

As for using the Force outside of Star Wars fics, my take on it is the same as all special powers: If your powers rely on the existence of an outside force (The Force, ambient magic, the Dark Dimension, whatever) then they don't work in verses where that force is absent. If they are natural born or otherwise part of you (mutants, super soldiers, timelords, aliens, etc.) then you can use them, though doing so may not be the best idea. Because even if you buy into the whole midichlorians thing, they only allow you to tap into the Force. Without the Force there to tap into, you're just a person with really odd cells in your bloodstream.
