I am a huge fan of fanfiction and all... but I am so sick of wading through the crap to find something, anything good to read at the moment. I am SO going to the library tomorrow and picking up some books I have never read before by PROFESSIONAL authors with good reputations. Ones who at least stand a fairly decent chance of knowing how to write. Ones who would not, for instance, have the character of Clark Kent from the tv show Smallville, part-time writer for the school newspaper and future professional reporter for a major newspaper, write a love note email to his boyfriend that sounds like something a preschooler would write. Making him gay, on the other hand, bothers me not at all. That's part of the beauty of fanfic.
