Yes, fanfiction is the red headed step child of the writing world and some people get sniffy about it.
I'll read bus tickets. I have to have something to read whenever I'm still. So I'm not "afraid" to read it. There is a lot of dross but honestly, I have read stuff that puts a lot of "real" published authors to shame. In fact, I've often wondered if those fanfic authors ever published professionally etc (I enjoyed their work so much that were "ripping yarns").
