If you like fan-fic, this will be heaven, because fan-fic will be all there is. If you prefer professional writing (or art, or music) filtered by gatekeepers who to some degree help keep the quality higher, not so much.

Fanart and fanfiction are still based on original works. As someone who regularly switches fandoms, without new original work to use as basis, fan-made content will also be limited.
