In my experience, when some people claim "better than canon/professional writing", they really mean "hit's all my kinks/interests/features my favorite character/pairing/etc." Most of the stories I've seen recommended as "better" have been just that.

This is not to say that there aren't some genuinely good fanfiction writers out there (and some professional books are pretty bad). But I think, at this point, it's more the exception than the rule.

IA, and it's a little frustrating people can't tell the difference. Sometimes fanfic meets my needs in very specific ways because I want to read about X fandom or a very specific trope or situation. That doesn't make the fic better in terms of quality, but it's better suited to my needs at that moment.

But most of the time when I read, I'm not interested in romance or whether or not two character will bang, so I go for published fiction in the mystery, SF or fantasy genre.
