Ditto. I've spent most of the last two years reading almost nothing BUT fanfic, and I've been in and out of fandom for decades, so truly I don't want to exclude it from this comm because I think it's a lesser genre or something. I don't.
But I do think it's fair to say that many fanfic stories are less enjoyable/less comprehensible if you haven't seen the source material, and I'm not in the market for new fandoms. I'm here because right now I want to expand my reading of authors of color, and of writing in other genres besides fanfic.
Which is a long way of saying: if you review fanfic here, please just put FANFIC in the subject line.
no subject
