Well, that's a rather unnecessary blanket dismissal. The fanfiction that I and my friends write is neither trash, amateurish, or fulfilling some sick fantasies, unless you would categorize our establishing relationships between characters that wouldn't have a relationship on our respective shows, as sick. I write mainly "slash" fiction, with female/female relationships, which would never occur between the two characters, that I write about, of my show. I create plots around them that both fit with the "canon," meaning what has already been established between the characters on the show, and also expand on it, which takes those already established storylines further and creates interactions and relationships that would not otherwise happen. I don't find anything sick about this at all.
