I don't care if people only read fanfic that much, because frankly at least they're reading something and spending their time engaging with stories with some level of critical thought (there is always a minimum level of critical thinking/meta that goes along with fanfic because you're making decisions about what alternate imagining of a story you want to read about, and why/why not some alternate versions aren't 'canon' or 'in character'). This is good because, frankly, a lot of young people don't read at all.

You read enough fanfic, you're going to come across book recs and are probably going to pick up a book at some point anyway. You don't read anything at all, well - there's not a lot that's gonna change that.

I think fanfic readers are more likely than the general public to read novels, rather than less. But everyone goes through phases.

This.

You've win this thread. I disagree so much with OP, because trying to make people reading anything for a living has taught me that just making people read anything is a triumph by itself. If people want to read fanfic, oh my god please do it. That's a huge step, and people should enjoy it instead of suffering judgemental opinions from people like OP.

Yeah, exactly. My dad and step-mother are teachers, and they wish they could get their pupils to read more than the bit they do in school.

I work for a bookseller and subscriptions agency, and the number of colleagues who say "I don't read." is scaringly huge.
