Since OP has used a library as their background image...

As a librarian I DON'T GIVE A SHIT what people chose to read, as long as they are reading SOMETHING.

Being fanfic or published fiction, all is good to me, because the amount of people who won't read nothing at all it's what's truly terrifying.

Heck, if fanfic means people will read, then by all means keep reading that, because for many people reading fanfic means discovering reading can be a fun and rewarding experience for the first time in their lives, something formal education fails to teach more often than not.

And guess what? Librarianship is not about keeping books and saving them for the few chosen educated ones as you think yourself you are. It's about helping people to find what they want to read, and fulfill their needs. Librarians don't judge about what people read, but work their ass off to help them find it, being published literature, YA or even fanfic. If a patron would ask me to help them find fanfic, I would gladly help them.

Now, if OP would be so kind as to quit that annoying judgemental assumption that libraries are something they are not that would be amazing.

(Now I dare you to say that thing to me about being uneducated. I read daily for at least eleven hours, all year long, both published books and fic, and I read for work and as a hobby. I also read way more fanfic that published fiction; but I'm still certain I do read way more published fiction and non-fiction than you, OP, I mean, since you do like to make judgements based on assumptions, I could also make assumptions about you based on that.)
