Re: Why is so much fanfiction of TV shows terrible?

[fingalsanteater]

I read fic for all sorts of fandoms too and I've not found there to be an abundance of bad writing in any particular fandom. I've read just as many good fics in the Harry Potter fandom as I have in the Merlin BBC fandom, for example. (Which is a lot. Both those fandoms produce quality fic.) I think it depends on who is watching the shows you're reading fic for. Some shows are going to have a lot of self-insert OCs or unpolished writing, for example, because they cater to younger viewers who are more likely to want to write self-inserts and who are also unskilled. You get that in book fandoms as well, especially if the books are aimed at kids/teens.

Based on your comment, the fact that you are in small book fandom means your fandom isn't likely inundated with a lot of unskilled writers through which you'll have to wade through to find the good stuff. I'll backbutton out of a lot of Supernatural fics, but I barely backbutton out of Babylon 5 fics. There can be two reasons for this: one, I'm limited by choice and thus have lower standards for B5 fic since the fandom is so small; and two, because the fandoms attract different people typically, and different writers, so B5 fic tends to seem better overall because I'm comparing the good fics to a smaller number of fics I don't like, versus a larger number of fics I don't like in the Supernatural fandom.
