Yes, definitely. But I feel that way about 90% of "mainstream" or published original romances. There's just something about fanfiction that cuts through all the romance bullshit and makes me love it, and that something is missing from almost all other forms of romance and/or erotica.

tbh, I think it's because you're already invested in the characters. Original romance has to make you actually care about these characters which are thrown into a (probably cliche) romantic scenario. In fanfic, you already care about them and are invested in their love-life, so you are less picky about the scenarios they find themselves in and less quick to get frustrated by them.

Hmm, interesting. Perhaps you're right: fanfic doesn't have to spend time introducing us to the characters, so there's less filler/exposition/BS and it can just dive right into the story...
