And the ratio of awesome to good to utter crap is about the same as I find reading fanfics! Agreed. I've found about the same ratio, and that goes for editing quality too.

It also drives me crazy how many people think fanfic is something odd and weird, while happily reading the latest Jane Austen spinoff or Sherlock Holmes story, or anything based on myth or Shakespeare. For legal issues, I understand why it's just not worth it to try to release fanfics off of current, still in copyright works, but how can they honestly not understand that the story is just as valid?

I'm trying to pub original purely because I'd like to be able to earn a part time income off my writing, but it's absolutely no different from writing fanfic. (Hell, I started with mythology fanfic, lol.) I have no intention of stopping, ever, and there will always be fanfics that I am just as proud of than my originals, if not more. And there will probably always be some of both that I'm not as happy with. >.>
