I voted yes....cuz frankly I read more online than in paper books. Not counting them would not reflect how much I actually do read. (So much so I realized I hadn't visited the library in two years...so I've now changed that, once I realized, and become regular at the library again.)
I do read mostly "fanfiction" online but I find the majority of stuff I am reading are extreme AU so they really are original fiction...just use familiar names and likenesses...I have a few sites I regularly visit, I find it hard to sort through new 'original' fiction. I need nice fairly in depth (back of the book type) summaries. I will check out this fictionpress you speak of.
If a online fiction is as long as a "regular" book (ie more than 200 pages in word) I'll count it as a book. If it's shorter I don't count it (and I read tones of these 'short stories' too.)
