Thanks for your post. I can respect this, these days I read for fun more often than any other reason.
Seeing two people posting here with an interest in writing fan-fiction for TV series is also interesting to me ... and I wonder if this is where I should start if/when I decide to try reading some fan-fiction. In general I care less about TV shows than I do about books, so I am less likely to be offended or upset if I hit poor examples. Then again, I must say that I've rarely come away from a TV show with any lasting interest in the characters (things like Dr Who or Star Trek episodes generally don't bear too close a scrutiny), so this lack of interest may make me less receptive to good examples.
Its a strange sort of dilemma/contradiction: the things I care enough about to want more I am scared wont be good enough, and the others I don't really care enough about to bother looking. Hmmm... Maybe a comedy.
