The downside of fanfiction is the hundreds of shitty writing styles to wade through to find the one readable story in the pile of over a thousand. Authors, you are not as good at writing as you think you are so keep it gen until you are good enough.

You know, I used to think this. Then I started grumping that 95% of fanfic was poorly written, and yet it had far more comments/likes/kudos/whatever. Then I realized.... what I like it vastly outnumbered. Yeah, 95% of people are writing stuff I hate, and 95% are reading it and liking it. It's not like the author is sitting there going "I'm going to really annoy Anon#87 with this misspelling!"

They're going "This is what most people write like and what most readers like."

And I'm secure enough in myself to be ok with that. They can keep on keepin' on, and I will do my own thing, and everyone wins.

If your standards are that high, it's not going out on much of a limb to say that fanfic is probably just not really your scene. Not saying you should give it up or anything, unless you want to, but your opinion of it sure suggests you get a lot more frustration out of it than enjoyment, and that's very much not the case for many of us avid fic readers. I've read several thousand fics in my primary fandom alone, and if you asked me what percentage of them I enjoyed, to one extent or another, I'd say about 90%.

And I'm someone who, outside of fandom, reads mostly "highbrow" literature (classics, Man Booker winners, Pulitzer winners, that kind of thing), so it's not like I have no concept of what "good" writing is like.
