I think I need to go find some good fan fiction to recommend. Everyone is bringing up the horror stories but not what's actually good and why people keep coming back to reading it.

Fanfic is what I read on my pc for years until I got my reader at the beginning of this year! There is a ton of good fic out there, and the good ones really stand out.
I read a lot of Star Trek Voyager fiction, and one woman who stands above most & whose work is used to judged all others is Gina Dartt's Just Between series. She now has 2 published works of her own.

Another one who is now published who got her start with fan fic is Gun Brooke.

These 2 are exceptional writers who have given readers hours of enjoyment reading their stories.

Umm, could you retranslate that so that I can understand what they were trying to say please.
