I think their point is that they're used to paying a lot of attention to logical, good plots in their original fiction, and that's....not always as necessary with fanfic. A lot of readers don't mind if your plot is weak if the tropey/id stuff is plentiful and good, or if Character A and Character B hook up.

So they paid too much attention, worried too much, over the wrong things.

I could be misreading their intent though.

That's how I read it too.

The day I realized my fanfic readers don't actually want good writing was liberating. I mean, they're happy to *accept* good writing and solid plots, but mostly they just want a story that scratches their particular itches and is readable (and even that definition varies from person to person.)
